    I have tried near all fix suggestions except for a clean W11 re-install, because I see others have tried and still have the issue. Common Windows fix this and Windows Hello for Business bug that many also face......

    I also suspect the February batch, as it is when my trouble started, as i see in the log.

    I did try all of that and nothing worked.

    Today i did upgrade to Windows 11, but still the same autopilot.dll error is there.

    I might need to erase the disk and re-install, if things get worse.

    Autopilot.dll is an essential part of windows 11 allowing programs to communicate with each other. If that program has issues then it can cause your system to crash. Be like trying to drive a car without the key. If the programs can't communicate then they will crash or cause system to be slow. Explains why the file can't be found, system file. There's still something not right with it. So let's see if we can help solve the problem

    I had this same issue but the weird thing is if you go to windows powershell that files nowhere to be found. I also noticed when I typed in get-winevent to see all events, there's some funny things happening. If you look up or try to look up the process number in PS, it doesn't even know the process exist but it's all over the system. Then below that there a login from user:N/A. I'm gonna keep looking into this cause I wanna know what's causing it
