Windows 10: Windows 11 sysprep generalize removes default app Windows Terminal

I'm just starting to look at creating an image of Windows 11 for deployment and I've noticed an odd issue. I haven't thoroughly tested this yet, but at the moment I believe that going from Audit Mode to OOBE with generalize seems to remove the Windows Terminal app if the device used to create the image was connected to the Internet during the image creation.Has anyone else seen this? Is this behaviour be design?‍-Martin

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

MiracastView cause sysprep error in Windows 10 Version 1709 - Windows Client

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?

I removed some win 10 apps before using sysprep to generalize my image and now i'm having errors when i try to generalize with sysprep.

the apps i removed using:
Code:

now sysprep gives me these errors:
Code:

Now, how do i reinstall these apps or make windows 'ignore' the fact that they're not installed when i use sysprep?

 

Windows 10 1709 sysprep fail

Hi,

I had the same problem, checked the logs and they basically said Windows was unable to remove the Miracast app.

Tried multiple suggestions, nothing worked until I found this:

Failed to sysprep and capture Windows 10 Fall Creators 1709

Basically Microsoft have pushed out their 1709 image without the Miracast app installed, to fix:

• Copy the C:\Windows\MiracastView folder from a working 1703 build into the C:\Windows directory on the 1709 machine
• Restart and then run sysprep

Sysprep should then run successfully!
