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 was able to solve the problem on that site.

    The Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant Service seems to be the problem.

    What option worked?

    Disabling the Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant service tends to work.

    TSM007, thanks for clarifying what worked for you. I agree the Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant Service appears to be the culprit. The error appears any time a Microsoft app is used.

    That option didn’t work for me since I use Microsoft's calendar, Store, and mail app. I also have to use Edge in Internet Explorer mode to access my security cameras.

    When I disabled Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant service the error went away but was unable to access MS apps.

    Creating another user didn’t solve the issue either.

    Event Viewer shows that my system has been encountering these errors since 4 October 2022. That is the same day that I updated to Win 11 22H2. The log does not go back further than that, so I do not know if the errors began on that day or not.

    I did not notice the errors until "Tiny Tina's Wonderlands" began to crash while accompanied by these errors. (As a side note, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands crashes when the Nvidia driver crashes as well, but neither the Nvidia driver nor the topic error are always required for the game to crash.) Getting dozens of these errors an hour is worrisome.
