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?

    After 3 years of updates over updates over updates... I reinstalled the PC (with 23H2 ISO) keeping nothing

    3 days later I haven't seen any Autopilot error

    Due to some other problems I was having, I went with "Recovery -> Reset this PC"... and after making a choice or two along the way, eventually got to and chose the one that basically said "Reset Windows, but please try to keep everything else as intact as possible."...

    As a result, I lost a couple of custom shortcuts on my start menu, but mostly everything else was OK. (No big program reinstalls or reconfigurations, for example).

    And now, no more of the autopilot errors. 👍

    @Rubert

    Appreciate you keep the 'discussion' going on. Another quite interesting finding...

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth said "The component store is repairable". The corresponding Event Log event was "0 of 4 instances of system store corruption have been repaired...".

    So far so good

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth said "The restoration has been completed". The corresponding Event Log event was "1 of 4 instances of system store corruption have been repaired..."

    Not sure I understand???

    Same here, that did nothing re. the Autopilot WIL error :(

    When you say Install-Repair is it something like DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth?

    Exactly! It doesn't fix the issue though.

    Feedback? I must really laugh. I tried it several times. NO SUCCESS! I even don't know for what they are good. This particular error repeating itself every time after a start/restart is well known to users, but MS simply ignores it, and will not ix it. FEEDBACK????
