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

after only 31 pages of questions and comments, it might be less stress to give this problem a rather wide berth

Many threads on this site (and others) have been raised re. this issue so I guess MSFT is aware of it. As someone suggested on this thread (top of my mind) increasing the Upvotes on the Feedback Hub is probably the best and only thing we can do

I perso. upvoted Repeated Autopilot.dll error flooding event viewer (event ID 1010 / HRESULT: 0x80070491) that has the highest number of votes. But as too often some people feel they're alone on earth and have raised the same thing n times, diluting votes at the same time :((

If all Helpful votes on the thread and the other ones were on the Feeback Hub...

EDIT Forget/Skip what's below. I fixed the accouts issue but Autopilot still bombard the Event Log

I might be on something...

I have 2 Microsoft accounts but only 1 user profile on that PC

The user profile uses account xyz@outlook_com

Let's call the other account abc@outlook_com

When I go to Account > Your information (not sure of the translation) I see xyz@outlook_com (with the right pic.). However, down on the same page, clicking on Accounts/Manage my accounts on the online page IT IS NOT xyz@outlook_com that's displayed BUT abc@outlook_com (and its associated pic.)

What is this mess??? I am 100% sure I NEVER NEVER changed anything to my Windows Account since I bought this PC a few years ago. And am currently not sure how to proceed to remedy to the above situation. I will appreaciate recommendations on how to proceed (I'll Search in the meantime)

When you say Install-Repair is it something like DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth?

Answer 4

Feedback? I must really laugh. I tried it several times. NO SUCCESS! I even don't know for what they are good. This particular error repeating itself every time after a start/restart is well known to users, but MS simply ignores it, and will not ix it. FEEDBACK????

Exactly! It doesn't fix the issue though.
