Windows 11 Sysprep /Generalize Errors after restart
Hi guys, I am coming here as I'm having a really strange issue thats rather frustrating with regards to trying to SysPrep /Generalize a new Windows 11 22H2 image as our latest image is 1903 and w...
From my experience playing with the image this is caused specifically by Microsoft and has nothing to do with you. This error will come up on a clean install with no modifications simply because the image was generalized. Something is happening during generalization that breaks most of the apps causing that file system error.
That is true in my experience, sysprep is fundamentally broken in Windows 11 22H2.
I "fixed" it in a very dirty way for one image we really needed by installing Windows 10 and upgrading to Windows 11 in Audit mode.
This image can be sysprepped without issue and the apps do work after that.
Note that I would not recommend this as upgrading an image in Audit mode is absolutely not supported and needed its own workaround.
