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?

    I still doubt that this is causing any of the crashes people are claiming. They're just seeing this annoying spammy error while they're having issues due to some other problem.

    Does anyone have news? Can this really cause some system instability and loss of performance? Is it a false positive and can we ignore this error?

    It seems to be a recurring thing and several builds.

    Is it linked to some initial configuration during Windows installation?

    If you have this error, how did you update it? Clean install with recent ISO (without having to resort to major updates after installation) or was it through Windows Update?

    Sorry for too many questions. LOL...

    Thanks!!! :)

    This error, in my case, occurred when I went from windows 11 21H2 to 22H2 in October. I used Windows update! The update appeared to go well, no errors. Running SFC and DISM found no errors.

    So far I have not had any performance issues.  

    As for my configuration, with the exception of software, like Norton, I have made no changes or modifications to the system.

    The error occurs at sign-in, I use my Microsoft account, and when I use a Microsoft app such as mail, store, etc.
