Using windows 10, I recently notice I'm getting a lot of these errors.
I'm not sure if they affect the ability to receive windows updates or not. Either way, is there a fix for these errors?
Thanks,
Gil.

Hi Gil,
I am glad to hear that update of your case.
There is a scheduled task that runs each night in Microsoft | Windows | Device Setup called Metadata Refresh.
When that task runs it causes the Device Setup Manager service to start, and that’s what is causing the messages. If you look in the Event Viewer under Application and Services Logs | Microsoft | Windows | DeviceSetupManager | Admin and filter on Event ID 122 then you can see the entries.
The “policy” that is causing the block is actually the Device Installation Settings.
For this Event, please open Devices and Printers in Control Panel, you might see a small pop-down about displaying enhanced device icons. right click that bar and select Open device installation settings.
When that window opens, you will see the settings that define the “policy”.
If you change the setting to Always install the best driver software from Windows Update. then the EventID 122 errors will go away.
Also, try disable this task scheduler, open task scheduler,
Under Task Scheduler -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Device setup -> Right click Metadata Refresh task -> Choose disable
Best regards,
Teemo Tang

Event ID 200 - A connection to the Windows Update service could not be established.
Event ID 201 - A connection to the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS) could not be established.
Event ID 202 - The Network List Manager reports no connectivity to the internet.
Unfortunately, this is not the same as the article you referred me to. All the above mentioned error are not listed in the article you mentioned.
I don't know how to solve it.

Hi Teemo,
I have tried the suggestions there (except the one which is exclusively for Win8.1), and this issue still persists.

I have tried but it doesn't help.
But I haven't received them for the last couple of days. What I did receive is Event 122, DeviceSetupManager, Access to drivers on Windows Update was blocked by policy

The suggestion here has nothing to do with the original issue, this user is experiencing event id: 200, 201, 202, NOT event id: 122

I had this problem for many days since freshly reinstalling Windows 10 Pro 2 weeks and I finally solved the problem yesterday!
Originally I found the info from this link on how to fix this.
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...79736f4?auth=1
Here's my thread from the ten forums. https://www.tenforums.com/windows-updates-activation/133310-warnings-event-id-200-202-360-after-windows-update-1809-a.html
Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features Turn Features On or Off and uninstall Microsoft XPS Document Writer, Internet Printing Client, Microsoft Print to PDF and Windows Fax and Scan.
Since I've done that upon restart/boot I no longer receive A connection to the Windows Update service could not be established Event ID 200
This also naturally fixed the The Network List Manager reports no connectivity to the internet: Event ID 202
That issue also disappeared along with Event ID 200. These seem to be interconnected. Basically these items are located in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Devices and Printers. When Windows Update fails to install drivers for these items maybe due to some corruption I don't know. This is what triggered those Event ID 200 and 202. I was also getting Event ID 201 but now I no longer get it.
At first I tried to simply remove Microsoft XPS Document Write, Windows Fax, etc from Devices and Printers but that didn't work. But uninstalling them from Programs and Features Turn Features On or Off has solved the problem.
Now I have done several experiments and these warnings are no longer appearing in my Event Log Viewer!
