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?

    Maybe it's not so easy to fix, especially if it involves third party software.

    I have the same issue along with frequent freezing and stuttering, and it's not an MSI machine (nor do I have any of their software).

    It infects windows 10 as well, so I guess both 10 and 11 are the new windows 8.

    I have the same question. My home PC uses a live.com account, BUT has office 365 licensed to my work account installed. I have been curious if that is all or part of the trigger. Other MS softwares use autopilot as well (ToDo, OneNote) so it may have no bearing - but I am curious if it is a common configuration for everyone who has this issue.
