I used to be part of the the Windows 11 Insider Beta channel. After updating to build 22598.ni_release.220408-1503 I began to see the same error in Event Viewer extremely frequently:
The errors are all the same and read as follows:
Autopilot.dll WIL error was reported.
HRESULT: 0x80070491
File: onecoreuap\admin\moderndeployment\autopilot\dll\dllmain.cpp, line 128
Message: NULL
I have never used any program called Autopilot or Modern Deployment. After seeing this problem I immediately left the insider program and am now queued for enrollment. However no new Windows update has happened and these errors persist. How do I prevent these errors?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Due to some other problems I was having, I went with "Recovery -> Reset this PC"... and after making a choice or two along the way, eventually got to and chose the one that basically said "Reset Windows, but please try to keep everything else as intact as possible."...
As a result, I lost a couple of custom shortcuts on my start menu, but mostly everything else was OK. (No big program reinstalls or reconfigurations, for example).
And now, no more of the autopilot errors. 👍
It is amazing: over 300 replies to this error, and what MS do? NOTHING! This reminds me of the situation with Internet Explorer, when for a long, long time MS did absolutely nothing, just ignoring the problems until Bill Gates himself got active. Now it is Nadal's task to order a fix to the issue. But what does he? NOTHING but a smirk in his face. This guy is worse than Bill. His motive: don't care, don't fix it. This issue is running for over one year! What does it tell us? MS does not care.
I just updated to 22H2 and the Autopilot error followed
I am suffering this issue now for several weeks. Event Viewer just full of Autopilot.dll WIL errors. Really regretting my upgrade to Win 11.
I live in hope - and disgust at the lack of action.
Or even some admission of guilt.
Yours tearfully.
I have same problem with windows 10 (KB5015807) but no any crashes what so ever.
