New Comment:
The 8.1 and master series have been updated to use libavif-0.9.0-1
which has static libraries, so PHP 8.1.0alpha3 will not require
avif.dll anymore.

The latter is fine, but the former would be pretty unusual, and
after all, there are several other DLLs in that folder which would
require the same treatment (e.g. sqlite3.dll, libssl-1_1-x64.dll)
(which is documented for the respective extensions, e.g.
openssl[1]). Actually, I'm surprised that you haven't faced other
issues; either you don't use these extensions, or they used DLLs
from another folder.

I added the php distribution directory (N:\Apache\php8) to the systemwide PATH variable and
restarted Apache service.
GD now loads without problems in 8.1.alpha2 (seen in info.php)
Thanks for showing this solution.
To avoid this configuration change a final solution should detect the avif.dll automatically in the
php distribution directory (or static linking).

8.1.0alpha2 introduced AVIF support, and currently avif.dll is
built as dynamic library. There is a PR to build it
statically[1], and this is likely to be merged, and then there
will be no more avif.dll. But for now, you need to put avif.dll
in the PATH.

avif.dll is in the php8 directory (where php.exe exists)
It is the unmodified extraction from the zip from the php website.
This php extraction directory is not declared in the path variable (like many years now)
There has been the change between 8.1 alpha1 and alpha2

Make sure that avif.dll is in the PATH.
