Another issue that comes up sometimes, which is VERY rare (only the early releases of Windows 11 had this issue,) is you may be stuck with a bad ACL entry for "C:\Program Files". I'm not saying that it's not possible to run this on a running / online operating system image, but it's often safer to run this script from the command prompt on WinPE:

REM Batch file to reset ACLs on WinPE for offline images only:
@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
icacls C: /inheritance:r /grant:r "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES":(OI)(CI)(F) /c /l /q
icacls "C:\*.*" /reset /t /c /l /q
