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

Is this error related to vpn? I noticed it often pop up when windows trying connect to vpn😅

Answer 2

dllmain.cpp does not exist in Windows 11.

Answer 3

Boot windows in to safe mode and delete the following file

dllmain.cpp

from *onecoreuap\admin\moderndeployment\autopilot\dll* folder

Restart windows.

No such path exists on my Win 11 system, Autopilot error is extremely persistent, please provide specific instructions to terminate error, or admit not possible.

I also have the same problem on Win 11 Home 22000.832, in my case the laptop touchpad becomes completely unresponsive every time autopilot crashes
