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

Error Unable to open the specified WIM file.

=== Processing LiteTouchPE (x86) boot image ===

    Hi,

    According to the official article, this is by design. 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
