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?

    They should be afraid. There are other operating systems. Every cup of patience overflows once.

    It was pointed out earlier that this is an out-of-box issue (probably not the OOBE Microsoft wants). But, for specifics, the time between Windows' first recorded boot following Resetting the PC and this Autopilot error showing up for the first time was 2 minutes and 9 seconds.

    With me, upon restarting the August 22 Windows monthly updates, the first ever instance of this error was recorded with-in a few seconds of logging in to the restart. Searching thru' the internet, this particular issue has a long history of coming & going. I seem to remember the first instance was over 3 years ago. MS must know what caused the issue then & how they resolved it so why can't they apply that same patch NOW?.

    Feedback is just a useless piece of s... I tried it several times, never received a reply or anything changed. I don't know why MS is throwing money at this "Feedback".
