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 running on a 3-4 year old Dell Inspiron 3670 Desktop, Intel Core i3-8100 CPU & Intel UHD Graphics 630. Had a couple of issues, this & WaasMedic, but in both cases, (touch wood), to a lesser degree than other users. Apparently, a BIOS update is available, not updated. Always told by my Gurus, that you only update BIOS if some app or something calls for an update to be installed. If it works, don't mend it - old adage.

    I had the same problem and could fix it. I made a BIOS update 2 days ago. Since then the error didn't re-appear. Maybe its a solution for somebody.

    I was able to solve the problem on that site.

    The Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant Service seems to be the problem.

    Event Viewer shows that my system has been encountering these errors since 4 October 2022. That is the same day that I updated to Win 11 22H2. The log does not go back further than that, so I do not know if the errors began on that day or not.

    I did not notice the errors until "Tiny Tina's Wonderlands" began to crash while accompanied by these errors. (As a side note, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands crashes when the Nvidia driver crashes as well, but neither the Nvidia driver nor the topic error are always required for the game to crash.) Getting dozens of these errors an hour is worrisome.
