Autopilot.dll WIL error

I don't know because I'm actually having the same problem. I've talked to someone about and he said this is possibly the only reason.

If you do that, you run risk of losing access to many MS Apps like Teams and more... I tried it and it made all my MS subscriptions go haywire... like Office.

I also see a tremendous number of autopilot related errors. It manifests on my laptop as a new "sluggishness" of Edge. My use hasn't changed, but the response time to keys or clicks has reduced notably. It is significant and I can't overlook the change.
