If modern apps in Windows 10 are being updated during the build and capture of a reference image, Sysprep may fail because it cannot remove the update.
Note that this doesn't happen all the time, it's a timing issue, but it sure happen often enough to be an issue. If that happens you will get the following error in the BDD. This package will not function properly in the sysprep image. This is what it looks like during the MDT build and capture process. Now, the above log is quite obvious, an app named Microsoft.
To see which modern applications that you have in your system, for the Administrator user account in this case. For a Windows 10 v CB machine, that did not update any built-in updates, I had 54 apps installed. Whereas as system which had been allowed to update them had 58 apps. A Windows 10 v CB machine with no updates allowed, showing 54 apps. A Windows 10 v CB machine with updates allowed, showing 58 apps. But what about apps being actually updated?
Well, you can get additional info via the Event Viewer. The Event Viewer with a filter on ID showing installations of modern apps.
If you compare the count of apps, from the event log, from a system having the apps being updated or not by simply putting the command in parentheses, and add a. Below is the out from a system without updates to the modern apps in Window s 10 v CB, a total of 82 entries for the apps. Another machine that I deployed, and allowed it to update, it ended up with entries for the apps.

The obvious fix for the problem is denying the virtual machine Internet access, but still allow updates via local WSUS server, so the following:. To put the brakes on a download that's already started, select Cancel download , then select Cancel download again to confirm. Block the app. Don't want the app to download online-only files? Blocking apps could make them unstable. If you trust an app and open online-only files with it frequently, don't block it.

Application such as 'Microsoft Edge and possibly Microsoft. ECAapp' may remain but Sysprep will not fail on these applications. Once the apps are removed the system will be in a 'fresh' state and Sysprep can be ran with the Create Disk Image task.
Sysprep is giving me the same error, I cannot remove it because it is a built in one, and none of the fixes I have seen on other sites have been able to work. So far it seems to be an issue with the version update. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Hey Ahron thanks for reading my blog! Microsoft appears to indicate that you could also do a fresh install from a new ISO and avoid this issue as well.
I did. I have tried it but to no avail until later this afternoon. I am building it as a VM on an offline network that I cannot connect to the internet. So I tried on a physical computer that a can connect and the fix worked this time. I am having the same issue but with contactsupport app. In version you can remove this app by using PS. Get-WindowsCapability -online? Is he a plant from Apple or Google? So sick of this crap.. Its going to take that much time to figure out how to extricate ourselves from the mess that is microsloth..
Check back in a few days or even subscribe to my blog to get update when I finish it. Thanks for your article. Got me started down the right path. Sysprep keep failing and had to keep adding apps to your ps1 file. What a PAIN. Hey Steven thanks for reading and commenting. Yeah you can absolutely simplify the process if you want everything removed you could run the command you mentioned. My approach will allow you to get granular and remove what you want and keep other apps intact.
Sysprep failed for me because of the infamous MiracastView app that defies removal. Even articles about using an SQL database editor to allow removal of the app fail in later Windows versions. I ended up renaming StateRepository-Deployment. It worked, but I wonder if there will be potential side-effects downstream though none so far!
