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

    I did a fresh reset of my Windows 11 to see if it would fix the problem. In the time between my first login to Windows at 4:22pm after the install and 4:39pm, I received this error 155 times.

    "It will resolved by windows update. Please do update. And check crashed error in windows reliability view. You can find out the error cause."

    Wrong!

    2 days ago, I updated all 3 Junes releases

    2 x Windows Intelligence

    1 x Windows Configuration

    Autopilot.dll errors still constantly repeating......

    2/2/23 - Same issue on a clean install of Win11 22H2 from 2/2/23 on a Dell/Alienware Ryzen R5.

    System extremely unstable. Outlook crashes frequently (about every 20-30 minutes); applications hang and crash often. Eventually, the entire OS will crash to a black screen and my laptop reboots. Even after reboot, system performance and stability is poor. This performance issue is PRIMARILY seen in any MICROSOFT application, such as Office, Edge, and pretty much anything downloaded from the MS store.

    What I found interesting is with games from Steam. There is something about the Steam Loader that puts a higher priority on it's operations and so it runs longer without a performance degredation; however, it too will eventually succumb to whatever is going on and the performance (measured by FPS) in the game will drop 70-90% and only a reboot brings it back to normal performance.

    I'm going back to Win10 (as my laptop has a Win10 boot image) to see if that resolves the issue. Will update this thread as to the results.

    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

    Message: NULL

    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.

    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. .
