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'm really sick of this error. It keeps making my games gag when it occurs, and sometimes even crashes them. As soon as I get a crash I open the windows event tool and see that the error ocurred exactly at the same time.

    It's been a while now and patches haven't fixed this issue.

    Also, this bs is completely random. I reinstalled windows and it popped up on a fresh windows install while in an old install I had, this error didn't exist at all, and now I'm suddenly plagued by it causing all sort of anomalies in my system.

    Windows 11 22h2 home still has the error after I was told by Microsoft Support that there was a fix for it.
