Many persistent errors in Event Viewer after Windows 11 build 22598.ni_release.220408-1503: "Autopilot.dll wil error was reported"

Question

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?

Answer 1

MS don't care about us as long as they can harvest our personal files.

Answer 2

I'm really sick of this error. It keeps making my games gag when it occurs, and sometimes even crashes them. As soon as I get a crash I open the windows event tool and see that the error ocurred exactly at the same time.

It's been a while now and patches haven't fixed this issue.

Also, this bs is completely random. I reinstalled windows and it popped up on a fresh windows install while in an old install I had, this error didn't exist at all, and now I'm suddenly plagued by it causing all sort of anomalies in my system.

I made an account just for the people suffering from this error in regards to it crashing your pc when you go to play games. This use to happen to me, my screen would go black when starting a game or after playing for a few minutes. I would still be able to hear the sound of the game for a few seconds after the screen went black. I also had this same error in my event viewer every time. I could of sworn this was the issue causing my games to crash. Long story short, I changed out my PSU and I still have this error in my event viewer, but no games crash anymore. I hope this is helpful for some. I have a 5600x, 3070ti, 16GB DDR4 Ram, Asus Tuf x570 gaming Plus wifi. Previous power supply was 650w and my new one ( very overkill I know) 1000w.
