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.

    Using sfc /scannow I find that autopilot.dll is repeatedly having to be repaired, having failed verification testing. So something is modifying that code, and MS finds the result in error.

    Does anyone know what could modify the code? My use is primarily surfing, email, and simple stuff. No program downloads for quite some time. Today, I found that sfc's within 3 minutes of each other, the autopilot.dll had to be repaired. In that three minutes I read somethings on the MSN start page.

    Let me add. within about 10 minutes after the second sfc I found 7 apparently identical errors in the system event log.:

    Autopilot.dll WIL error was reported.

    HRESULT: 0x80070491

    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!!

    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.
