Windows 10: Can't install 1809, clean (OOBE errors) or update (sysprep error)

Hello everyone

I have tried several times to install 1809 on my PC but it's not working at all. 3 clean installs and 1 upgrade using the media creation tool but it never worked. I've even created 2 different ISO's and burned 2 different DVDs in case it was a corrupt ISO to no avail.

When I do a clean install I get an OOBEREGION error. If I skip it then I get the OOBEKEYBOARD, the OOBELOCAL and so on. I can't create a user nor connect to my Microsoft account.

With the upgrade it just says that the system was rolled back saying there was a problem with Sysprep.

For the clean install I tried %windir%\System32\Sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /reboot but that didn't solve anything either.

1803 installs with no issues. I've read that if I'm not getting it through Windows Update then that means that my computer is not compatible which is odd.

Is there anything I can do other than wait to see if it's ever released for my hardware?

Thank you!

:)

 

Windows 10 Update breaks Sysprep?

I am attempting to image a Dell E7470 with Sysprep to upload to my WDS server.

When I run Sysprep /oobe / shutdown, it completes. However, without Generalize, I won't be able to upload it or deploy it.

When I run Sysprep /oobe /generalize / shutdown, it reports that a fatal error has occurred. The setupact.log lists that the Miracastview app cannot be removed.

I have attempted the Remove-appxpackage commands, but it states that it has been provisioned for the user but not all users. It says to attempt removal with Add / Remove Windows features, but it is not listed there.

I have tried the steps in

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...w-cause-sysprep-error-windows-10-version-1709

but none of this has worked either.

I guess the answer is to not run any Windows updates before Sysprep and avoid 1709? It appears to be bad news.

Anybody else encounter this? Any other solutions available?

 

Windows 10 OOBE loop after sysprep

I ran into boot loop after sysprep Windows 10.

I've prepared a custom machine to deploy with WDS.

Sysprep has been run with /oobe/generalize options.

When I restart, windows 10 get into a reboot loop, and every time ask for system oobe wizard.

Sysprep was not able to validate Your Windows installation. Windows 10 anniversary update

Hello.

I have a clean installed Windows 10 pro which was activated by MAK license.

When i tried prepare this system with Sysprep, i got the error message "Sysprep was not able to validate Your Windows installation. ...".

Internet research indicated that such errors happen when system was upgraded to Win 10 from earlier versions. In my case this is a clean installation of Win 10 pro with corporate activation on which i have performed the "anniversary update".

• May it happened because of this update? If so, did Microsoft released a patch/update to solve this issue (which i missed)? Is there exist any workaround to solve this issue?
  

• If "anniversary update" is not a cause, what would it be?
  

Thanks.
