Windows 10: CloudExperienceHostBroker triggering restart during OOBE after AUDIT

Hi Dears,
I'm just trying to change the profiles directory and ProgramData directory paths after a Windows 10 upgrade to allocate these in D:\Users and D:\ProgramData respectively (source OS: Windows 8 Pro installed just to perform a clean upgrade), but I'm having a problem. After installing Windows 10 I execute the sysprep with the unattended XML as follows:

• sysprep /oobe /reboot /unattend:\Unattended.XML

It performs the cleanup and restarts the system into OOBE, but it always get restarted in the "Just a moment" screen after Customize Settings (Just to be clear, step 18 of guide Windows 10 - Clean Install - Windows 10 Forums).

At first glance I thought it was a drivers issue (I have read somewhere that users with NVIDIA cards where facing issues during the customizations, so I tried adding the PersistAllDeviceInstalls as true in the unattended, and now I think it is not the problem.

Instead, what I did is I have just restarted everything, reinstalled windows 8 pro, upgraded to win 10 and executed the sysprep with the XML just once till it was restarted again, then after the restart I just executed the console with SHIFT+F10 and executed the eventvwr, and luckily me I found the error:

CloudExperienceHostBroker.exe is triggering a restart during the customization, and the reason for the restart is "System Reconfiguration".

The problem now is that I don't know how to solver or skip this, I tried replacing the EXE with a cmd.exe, and it just broke the oobe and I had to restart anyways.

I was looking for information around unfortunately without any valuable information, has someone faced this before? Do you think it is failing because I'm doing something wrong somewhere else? How should I proceed?

After Sysprep in Win 10 v1607, Reboots during OOBE for our customers

Having an issue with Win 10 v1607. During the customers OOBE, specifically at the customize settings, the system will reboot and start the OOBE over again. Does not matter if they select Express or Custom, it reboots endlessly. The only fix we've come up
with is a complete reinstall.

On our images we install Win 10 v1607

We then put the system into Audit Mode and install the following:

Motherboard drivers

All security updates

Office 2016.2

After testing, we sysprep every system and currently are hoping for the best. I would estimate about 15% of our systems have the reboot issue during OOBE.

Any ideas what is happening or a resolution for this issue?

 

sysprep bug

After I installed Win10Ent , I wanted create Image with sysprep.

In audit mode I run command: "sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown"

After reboot I get error:

windows could not finish configuring the system. To attempt to resumes configuration, restart the computer.

Why ? How is it resolve ?

 

I have this issue, as well... In the event that anyone else has this, I did some digging on this and found a solution for my cause:

TURN UAC BACK ON.
To do this:
1) At the OOBE hit SHIFT+F10 to get a command prompt
2) Turn on UAC: reg add hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\system /v EnableLUA /t reg_dword /d 1 /f
3) Reboot: shutdown -f -r -t 1

Once the computer restarted and entered OOBE everything worked as it should!

Hope this helps. *Smile

 

Any additional information with this issue? I am also encountering "CloudExperienceHostBroker" causing a restart during OOBE due to "System Reconfiguration".

My system was already set with EnableLUA = 1, so I tried flipping it to 0 without any luck.

CloudExperienceHostBroker from the little bit I can find seems to be related to AzureAD, a feature I have no intention of using. I also cannot find any information on disabling or removing this.
