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

    I get rid of that Autopilot.dll WIL. error by disabling Microsoft Account sign-in assistant service.

    Press the ‘Win + R’ key combination to open the Run command prompt

    1. In the prompt that shows, enter “services.msc”. This will open the Windows Services manager
    2. Scroll down and find the “Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant service”. Right-click on it and further click on Properties
    3. In the subsequent dialog box, under the General tab, click on the Startup drop-down and select Disabled
    4. Save these changes by clicking on Ok > Apply

    RESTART

    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.

    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.
