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

Message: NULL

I searched a bit trough the comunity and found out that there are tons of people having the exact same problem.

    I am getting something very similar. It actually crashes my system and forces a reboot.

    Any suggestions to correct this issue? I recently did a windows repair and it said it fixed corrupted files. But obviously it didn't fix this issue.

    Hi Manson,

    I appreciate the help but this is an out of the box issue,its a fresh new windows installation with the media creation tool downloaded yeserday.Im not a big fan of messing with system files because this is a well known issue from what i see in the comunity that appeared around august.

    I hope microsoft has this fixed soon.

    Hey Elizabeth,

    I did some research and the Autopillot error is caused by Microsoft login assistant.It happens when you use your microsoft account to login be it office,onedrive etc.

    I dont think your pc is crashing because of that tho,it might be something else im afraid.
