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?

    Mine was 178 first and now 191...no clue when this will be adresed.

    Likewise, on 2022-08 Cumulative update win10 21H2 for x64

    Edit: Not a single critical error since i disabled the Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant service 10 days ago

    What has the Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant to do with this error?? I don't see any connection with that service! Explanation please.

    Seems issue from various postings, occurs on both Windows 10 & Windows 11, also occurs if user logs on with Microsoft Account or a Local Account.

    Apparently disabling Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant in some cases provides a temporary fix, sometimes not, also reports, by disabling, others issues could well arise. Why does it take us users to pick up these errors, are MS developers & the insiders on holiday - surely this with all the supposed checking pre release, this should never have got to general release.

    Yesterday an update was installed. This morning I have 147 (!!) errors in Event Viewer. The line has changed to 191. It is incredible. MS does not care!

    From various posts about installing updates - it appears MS are releasing updates on a try & see basis - this does not inspire confidence in MS (once again) - why not just sort the issue out properly, they apparently they have acknowledged that there is an issue
