Windows 10: Access Denied when using DISM to apply image

I am trying to migrate to a larger M.2 Drive in my Dell Laptop. I created a 64Bit WinPE USB drive, booted to that drive, used DISM to capture WIM files of the smaller M.2 drive. I then swapped out the M.2 Drive, booted to the USB drive, Created the partitions, tried to apply the wim. I receive an Access Denied error.

:)

 

DISM on build 14332 fails to apply image that has bash installed: Access Denied C:\Users\Eric\AppData\Local\lxss\rootfs\usr\share\perl

I made a WIM with DISM of build 14332 on my computer. Trying to apply this image on my computer, DISM /Apply-Image fails with an Access Denied error. This happens applying the bash rootfs folder in the local AppData in the user profile.

I managed to open the WIM file with 7-zip and remove the rootfs folder, after which it succeeded to apply the image.

But since 7-zip needs to write the WIM from scratch as a temporary file, excluding the removed files meanwhile and then renaming the newly created WIM file afterwards, and happened to do it in-place on the same disk without an option to do it differently,
that took several hours and almost 250GB disk space in total to complete.

The DISM log shows the following:
