Windows 10: SysPrep Win10 2004 Symbolic Link Issues with UEFI

So, I am diskparting to make a S drive and a W drive. Per Microsoft examples. Diskpart it for UEFI. All completed successfully and I load a WIM image on said W drive and restart. Now when windows finally gets done loading and I log in, I look at the C:\Users\All Users folder and I see the symbolic link points to the W:\Programdata folder. Problem is now I don't have a W: drive as it was changed to C. This is causing a lot of issues in the way we deploy apps/icons to users.


I have looked but am not finding anything or anybody else having such a issue. I did update WInPE installation and updated Windows Tool Kit, deployment and Assessment. But it did not change anything. I can fix it in the image but when we diskpart again and load the fixed image, it goes back to the W: drive om All Users.


Ideas?

Symbolic link (Junction/s), how-to mklink? Please help with Junction?

Hi all, having been a member at Seven then Ten forums for a fair while I'm hoping to find a straight answer here..? Apologies in advance if this is too verbose.
Windows 10 system booting from (UEFI) NVME with 2xSSDs + 2 MHDDs for storage...

An application (Xperia Companion) which will not let me select or personalise the location for saving backups of my cellular phone data...

Think I found a fair definition of the differences at the Computer hope site which would suggest it's a Junction I need:

I want Xperia companion to save backups to F:\Sony Backups NOT the default C:\Users\GD\Documents\Sony. Would the Junction (link) allow me to to fulfill my wants and could someone please demonstrate the mklink commands needed?

with thanks and regards,
Dave
