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.
I think my laptop may have crashed trying to recover from hibernation yesterday. I saw the autopilot error then my laptop mysteriously restarted itself. No idea if it's a BSoD. I will hibernate now and see if it happens again after leaving it overnight. Otherwise, I may disable that service.
I think one of the patches gave me such an error. I have not upgraded to 22H2. Should I do that?
Good day,
I also own an XPS 8940. The freeze issue is all over the Dell forums. I also have (had) the issue. Since the latest BIOS update (2.10) and the latest NVidia driver release my system has gone from freezing 2 or 3 times a week to the current state which is; I have not had a freeze in about a month. If you have not done the BIOS update and the video driver updates I strongly sugest you do. As well as the Windows updates.
This link is to one of many threads in the Dell forums about freezing. https://www.dell.com/community/XPS-Desktops/XPS-8940-constant-freezing/m-p/8142271#M68603
Posting only to give this problem more traction.
Running an HP Envy laptop, am a Zoom power-user for music instruction.
My on-board microphone will randomly stop working in the middle of Zoom calls. If I change microphones, and reselect the on-board, it kicks it back on.
After countless hours trying windows updates, microphone driver uninstall, reinstall adn update, Zoom software deletion and reinstall, with no fix, I looked to error logs. I'm a newbie to this, didn't know what I was looking for.
After recording the times I noticed the microphone stopping, it was the exact same time that this error message pops up.
Upon reading through this thread, I also have issues with my computer going to sleep, then monitors refusing to turn on (black screen) so that I can log back in.
I have had these problems for months, I believe it's linked to a Windows update.
I have disable MS account sign-in assistant, didn't help.
Haven't tried turning off overclocking, doubt I have it even turned out.
Will be trying to work-around of disabling the log. Hope we get a fix.
Fair enough, seems like a bit of a lottery on if it might work. I'm glad mine is but seeing what you said about you also using a new account I can't say why that is. Good luck if you can be bothered. I was using manjaro for a while as i was experiencing the blue screen of death alot, but it's all better at the moment on this pc.
I have seen this problem occur on my own pc for some time. I created a new microsoft account during reinstallation of windows 11 22H2 and I no long have this issue with the new account. So I think the problem is bound to my old account which I have been using since windows 8 days. Maybe there is something occuring in the account itself which presents itself in these errors.
Thinking the same thing so I did a clean install with jump drive and newly created Microsoft account using 22H2 media only to still receive about 400 weekly Autopilot.dll WIL 0x80070491 errors.
Wondering if temporarily pulling the internet and performing a clean install with a local account would get around this error. As oreveredrist stated, I've run out of enthusiasm to do another install.
