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

Question

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?

Feedback hub sucks, can't get in, then can't find anything once you are in! Looks like it is more for feed back on OS rather than troubleshooting. Can't find anything you posted

I have not received anything from Feedback hub as well. To get rid of this error I ended up doing a clean install. Some, like me, tried to fix it on our own only to end up having to take the same route.

Too many people facing this issue.

The Feedback Hub is absolutely just for feedback of problems up to Microsoft. It's not a troubleshooting or help forum. It's just a way to get problem reports "officially" to them:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/send-feedback-to-microsoft-with-the-feedback-hub-app-f59187f8-8739-22d6-ba93-f66612949332

Of course, they almost never act on anything reported there. Just look at the issues people are reporting on the Taskbar (filter Category to Desktop Environment and then Subcategory to Taskbar). The top Trending problem is about their having removed the ability to "never combine" taskbar icons. It's been there for over a year with almost 17,000 upvotes and 1886 comments. Yet, not only have they never fixed the issue, they've never officially responded to it.

If this is so, why not eliminate Feedback??? How many people work there? One or two? Even from here MS does not respond! This is reckless and aimed at the user (consumer). It should be investigated! How many people have posted here for the problem? But NO RESPNSE by Microsoft. What is wrong with Microsoft????

Hi.

Feedback doesn't work. The problem with the autopilot has been going on for a long time and has not been answered.

I finally found the details about the autopilot:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-blog-archive/modernizing-windows-deployment-with-windows-autopilot/ba-p/167042

I had this problem after upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

Maybe it will help others, look for the following keys in the registry (regedit.exe):

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels\Microsoft-Windows-ModernDeployment-Diagnostics-Provider/Admin

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels\Microsoft-Windows-ModernDeployment-Diagnostics-Provider/Autopilot

In keys is the variable "Enabled" with value "1". I overwrote it to "0" and the error no longer appears.

ATTENTION. What works for me may not work for you. I don't know where else it can show up. Do not repeat this procedure without consulting Microsoft.
