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 discovered the same error on a Dell Laptop running Windows 11 Home 22000.856

    I delved into the AutoPilot.dll file and saw what I believe to be the incorrect path. There's no hash after onecore, compared to another path referenced earlier:

    Incorrect?

    Referenced Example?

    Potentially modified path?

    Any thoughts?

    I am on Windows 10 19044.1889 and my logs are full of the same error. Also I am not enrolled in insider. Thus, solutions suggesting to leave the insider or to wait for a new W11 build won't help (me).

    FWIW - have an old 8.1 laptop, slow & steady like me, that does not have the issue, lot of people used to think 8.1 better than 10, MS no doubt are slowing down 8.1's so yo buy a new computer, just as they done with XP when they brought out 8.

    Same Issue!

    Version 10.0.22621.575

    Edition Windows 11 Pro

    Installed on ‎5/‎18/‎2022

    It was discovered when dealing with a new Wireless Disconnect issue. Also led to a Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power issue today.

    Exactly same as above postings. I'm on Windows 10 home still, error was first logged in event viewer immediately after restart from installing August WUD's. That day's logs clear until this time so yes, was something in August 22 WUD's.
