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:

HRESULT: 0x80070491

    Same one, hundreds of times per day. I've run SFC, DISM, i deleted autopilot.dll and reinstalled it with a fresh one. I registered the fresh one. I remounted the image. Ive done everything I can possibly think of besides registry edits.

    If anyone knows which registry edit to make or where to begin looking please update. Thanks for everyone who has tried to solve this so far, hopefully a solution is found soon because this is getting ridiculous.

    This error was occurring frequently on my laptop. After some investigation, I have found that this event error seems to no longer occur if you set the "Retail Demo" service to "Manual" from "Disabled" and disable the "Work Folders" service.

    I wonder if this would work for others as well.

    How did you do that ? You do not have to delete your account, just login from previous account and then remove this NEW ONE ACCOUNT which we have been told to create by THIS AWESOME SUPPORT.

    While some people doubt that this error could cause things to crash, other software will sometimes encounter a significant performance lag when this error occurs. When that happens, the software sometimes crashes.

    So, not every time the error occurs, but often enough that it's annoying and at the very same time that the error occurs.

    (To be clear, in my case, the error is on line 128, not 178 or any others.)
