Sysprep brakes my image (it's prob me)

Question

So my organisaties bought 150 more laptops but there not the pro version anymore there the home edition.

so i'm trying to make a new image to deploy on the 150 new laptops this time with a unnatende file.

when i run the sysprep command like

sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:C:\dell\backup\autounattend.xml

i prompts me with a error that

MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience_524.24900.80.0_x64__cw5n1h2txyewy

package is installed for one user
when running this command

get-appxpackage -allusers MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience_524.24900.80.0_x64__cw5n1h2txyewy | Remove-appxpackage -allusers

it says it's removed but it's still there. It says its removed but when i run sysprep again its there again.

so i read on linkdin to use this code to remove non all user packages to save time

Get-AppxPackage | Where-Object { $_.IsFramework -eq $false } | Remove-AppxPackage

it removes a ton of packages and there i think it's going wrong

after running this command sysprep runs but the image isn't working
when the system restartes it states that windows needs to be repaired and i have to start all over again

can anybody help
thank you in advance

(im doing this for a non-profit organisation that lends laptops to people who cant afford it)

Answer 1

the error i get after running is :
\windows\system32\winload.efi is missing

error code 0xc000000f

so the image can't be used

Answer 2

Now i just reinstalled windows and all drivers and made a clone from that without running sysprep because its just to set it back to that system when i mess up sysprep again.

and just because of that windows does not want to boot anymore and displayes

the error :

\windows\system32\winload.efi is missing
error code 0xc000000f

clonezilla should not brake windows install just by making a image of the system.

Answer 3

Hello,

According to your description, I also suggest that remove the provisioning package.

Sysprep fails with Microsoft Store apps - Windows Client | Microsoft Learn
