Error is happening when I try to update deployment share. It is happening with win11 and win10 Deployment shares.

I am using the latest ADK+PE and MDT.

Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

Reinstalled windows to a newer version.

My operating system is Win11 Pro, latest beta channel.

Tried disabling AV and Firewall.

Yes the wim file exists, have tried from Extracted iso and a mounted iso.

All MDT-ADK,Deployment shares and drive are shared.
I can't find logs anywhere

    I don't have the "Windows Preinstallation Environment" folder within the file path to ammend the file to x86, is there any other work around?
