So this issue has been going on for almost a month now,event viewer is showing tons of these errors,i have 3 windows 10 installations and in each the error is there.Even tried to do a clean install on my main pc today to see if it would go away but to no effect.

This is the error:

Autopilot.dll WIL error was reported.

HRESULT: 0x80070491

File: onecoreuap\admin\moderndeployment\autopilot\dll\dllmain.cpp, line 178

    Almost one year and still we don't have a fix for that. I have random freezes because of the autopillot.dll. A lot of people have genuine Windows key and a brand new PC/Laptop and Microsoft staff are doing nothing...

    Ahh fair enought; but still, there are thousands with the same issue and all have unique PC configuration of hardware.

    So replacing a MB or CPU wouldn't be viable. Many have tried a full Windows reset and still get the issue.

    MS really needs to get a handle on this software conflict issue and release a fix!!

    I have the same issue on Windows 11 22H2 which is unresolved.

    Autopilot.dll WIL error was reported.

    HRESULT: 0x80070491

    I believe it's linked to Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant.

    Having similar issue. Disabling sign-in assistant seems to have worked but it logged me out of edge browser profile syncing.

    if i then try to sign in it instant crashes. The event viewer didn't then show any of these errors leading up to when i manually crashed it as it had previously so i assume it is related.

    I'm going to test with a different program that might use the sign-in assistant to see if it crashes again.
