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

JD, I'm unsure the reporting through the feedback hub is really of any use. A while back, I moved from Insider to an outsider when it appears that no one was really paying attention. A later set of articles seems to indicate that I was (we were?) not alone. Paul Thurrott's blog [https://www.thurrott.com/forums/general-discussion/microsoft/thread/shenanigans-on-microsoft-feedback-hub] and the associated Y Combinator thread [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29954266] for some reference. Just passing this along so you can set appropriate expectations in the feedback hub.

Answer 2

Well, at least this one has reply that Microsoft is looking into it.

Answer 3

I was poking about last night regarding this annoyance and although I don't have any real detail to explain, I'm curious....Does everyone here have Visual Studio installed?

Answer 4

But you didn't post this in the feedback hub as far as I know so I don't know how you set an expectation there.

1637 Modern Deployment error in 2 months, most hard crashes occur when I woke my laptop from sleep.
