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

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

    This is the worst advice. I ran it and it completely reset my user account, I lost all my info in user folder : downloads/desktop/etc. .

    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.

    Same here, on two computers, both have the issue, on my main computer the issue started on 10/29.

    Autopilot.dll WIL error was reported.

    HRESULT: 0x80070491

    File: onecoreuap\admin\moderndeployment\autopilot\dll\dllmain.cpp, line 191

    Hundreds of these, definitely causing slowdowns and running my computer to work hard. I can see the power pull on my UPS.

    I went to use my backup computer yesterday, that is when I found it also had the same problem.

    Difficult to tell when all this began, but it is the same as already described above,

    I hope this is being taken seriously, this is a serious issue, causing multiple crashes.

    I have a similar issue but on line 138. I do not have the 22H2 Windows 11 update installed. The problem started 10/24/2022. There are additional errors in Server, DbxSvc, DistributedCOM, etc. , but similar errors were occurring before this ModernDeployment-Diagnostics-Provider error started happening. A new problem is that yesterday and today my relatively new machine crashed and had to be forcibly rebooted. I can't prove this is related, however.
