Many persistent errors in Event Viewer after Windows 11 build 22598.ni_release.220408-1503: "Autopilot.dll wil error was reported"

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?

    I just updated today and got this bug on my main PC, but interestingly not on my old Surface Tablet. Both are running Windows 10 BTW

    Brand new HP desktop computer running Windows Home 11 v21H2 OS 22000.832

    Lots of continuing event viewer errors:

    Autopilot.dll WIL error was reported;

    Event ID: 1010;

    Source: Microsoft-Windows-ModernDeployment-Diagnostics-Provider

    Home computer. No need for "autopilot", additional "deployment" or "provisioning".

    I reported it to Feedback Hub.

    I noticed that after a while, Microsoft Account Sign-In Assistant stopped running by itself, and after some more time, it starts up again and the errors come back.

    Dave:

    I'm all for reporting problems to Feedback Hub.

    Feedback Hub requires problems to be reported with one of 20+ categories, and then a sub-category.

    I usually have trouble deciding which category and sub-category to use to submit a problem to Feedback Hub. Looks to me like the categories are Microsoft-staff centered, as opposed to categories I can understand.

    In this case my problem is continuing high-volume of identical "autopilot" errors in event viewer. My system is not crashing.

    What Feedback Hub category/subcategory does event viewer errors related to "autopilot" go in, if it is not causing my system to crash?
