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.
It is because his posts are untrustworthy. He doesn't provide any documentation or rationale.
Never delete a file or run a code if you are not 100% sure of what that will do exactly. Generally, don't take any post written here, which suggests interfering with your system, at face value.
This ^
Quick search on community appears to show three current threads for this subject with AutoPilot.dll mentioned a number of times in various contexts, some of them posted by MS re updates etc.. has this being going on longer than we think?
To repeat: no workarounds! Or shutting off services. MS fix it and no longer ignore this error since it is produced by you, MICROSOFT.
The question is whether MS loses quality. Everything appears to go automatically. Human interference disappears. Where is the big call for QUALITY in Windows 10 or 11????

This issue is not exclusive to users who have only a local account.
I have this error(s, they are increasing exponentially!) as well and I use a Microsoft account to log in.
Specifications: Windows 11, Version 21H2, build 22000.856
I also confirmed that the process responsible for the error is wlidsvc (Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant).
The only difference in my error log is that the error occurs at line 138, rather than 128.
How can you disable the Sign-in Assistant?
