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?

    Seems issue from various postings, occurs on both Windows 10 & Windows 11, also occurs if user logs on with Microsoft Account or a Local Account.

    Apparently disabling Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant in some cases provides a temporary fix, sometimes not, also reports, by disabling, others issues could well arise. Why does it take us users to pick up these errors, are MS developers & the insiders on holiday - surely this with all the supposed checking pre release, this should never have got to general release.

    What has the Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant to do with this error?? I don't see any connection with that service! Explanation please.

    Windows 10, latest update, it is line 178. Originally line 128. What the heck is going on here???? MS do you want to fix it or not? Request for a clear reply: YES or NO!
