    This error was occurring frequently on my laptop. After some investigation, I have found that this event error seems to no longer occur if you set the "Retail Demo" service to "Manual" from "Disabled" and disable the "Work Folders" service.

    I wonder if this would work for others as well.

    This is what I received from the Microsoft Community. It was no help. The suggestion only wanted me to download Windows Server. I don't want Office 365. I have Windows 11 pro Insider on my computer/toy and don't want anything else. If I wanted anything else I would buy it.

    Everything started going south about 3 or 4 flights ago. Since then I have been getting lots of Modern Deployment Diagnostic Provider and certificate enrolment errors. I have also been getting alot of LSA (LsaSrv) warnings. Some of them might be from me due to trying to resolve this.
