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?

Another user enjoying the lovely crashes. Microsoft, a few people moved to working from home, it is a bit difficult to continue working when your OS keeps crashing. If you cannot produce a solid product, don't release it yet. Fortunately alternatives like macOS and Linux allow me to continue working. In the event someone from Microsoft looks into this at one point in my lifetime. Quite literally did a fresh install, not keeping my data, to get past this. No such luck. Is Windows 11 the new Windows 8, Windows Vista, or Windows ME?

correlation != causation

Thanks for the vapid reply. Only an entire thread of people receiving this error in the time frame of their device rebooting. The best answer someone could muster is turning off your memory XMP profile.

Since the odds everyone in this thread is running different hardware, cannot blame a singular component. The average person who purchased a device from Dell, HP, etc. probably does not have an XMP profile enabled.

We can expand this out that the issue is with autopilot.dll, which I would guess a majority of these individuals aren't having their device deployed and managed by the Intune MDM solution.

So would you like to try again, or are you in it for the post count?

I'm hitting this problem the rate of about 500 crash events per 24 hours according to Event Viewer.

I did a clean install of Win 11 21H2 about a week ago and have installed nothing other than Office and Adobe Photoshop/Lightroom. It crashes about every 5 - 10 minutes in a never ending death spiral. The system is negatively impacted by this event, sluggish and non-responsive for a few seconds at a time as I've used it.

The computer is an AMD 5800x based desktop on an Asus MB with 32gb ram and a pair of nvme drives, so it's a very fast system in general. I am running the Pro SKU with only an MSA connected. No domain, AD, or corp access of any type so the computer should have nothing to do with Autopilot functionality.

I was running 22H2 Beta for a while, but had to roll back to a clean install of 22H2 after a fatal Window Update failure I could not clear. It's been frustrating to have this completely clean and fresh install crippled by this problem.

Answer 5

I encountered the same problem in Windows 10, the latest update. 136 errors in Event viewer this morning. So far. I have not found a solution to the problem.

It appears - as usual - that Microsoft does not care. I ask myself what the programmer was programming here. Did he actually test it? I do not think so.

The suggestion to reinstall W 10 or 11 is unacceptable. This is a programming error and can only be corrected by MS even though, it does not hinder normal operation in WiFi (in my case). So, MS please investigate and fix it.
