SCCM ADK update caused boot image ErrorCode = 2152205056

Question

Dear experts,

We've upgraded SCCM from 2111 to 2207 with ADK updates. Now we can update Boot image x64 but the x86 image always failed with following errors.
I followed this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/mem/configmgr/error-managing-boot-images but it said it needs to be running on Windows 10 or later, we are running SCCM on Windows Server 2019

Any idea what I can try?

Error: Update boot image:   
•	Microsoft Windows PE (x86)  
   
  Error: Windows ADK reload actions:  
•	Reload using Windows PE from the  ADK version 10.0.22621.0  
   
  Error: Update actions:   
•	Add ConfigMgr binaries using Production Client version 5.00.9088.1007  
•	Disable Windows PE command line support

 Optional components:  
•	Scripting (WinPE-Scripting)  
•	Startup (WinPE-SecureStartup)  
•	Network (WinPE-WDS-Tools)  
•	Scripting (WinPE-WMI)  
   
  Error: The wizard detected the following problems when updating the boot image.

Hi,

According to the official article, this is expected behavior. The last supported version of 32-bit WinPE is available in the WinPE add-on for Windows 10, version 2004. The 32-bit versions of Windows PE (WinPE) in the WinPE add-ons for Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 aren't supported.
Support for the Windows ADK in Configuration Manager

A similar thread for your reference: Unable to update X86 default boot image after upgrade to ADK 2262 on MEMCM 2203.
The workaround is to copy amd64 folder (default path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment) and then change the name to x86.

Hope it helps. Thanks for your time.

Best regards,
Simon

And the real question here is why do you need a 32-bit boot image anymore? Are you still deploying x86 Win 10? Starting with 20H1, I don't believe we support x86 at all anymore and anything older than 20H1 is unsupported.
