Installed and updated to Windows $11$ Pro.

Installed all drivers and applications.

Configured all security and system configurations.

You attempt to run the Sysprep tool on the reference image, but it keeps failing.

What is the MOST likely cause for this issue?

answer

The Registry has been corrupted.

The computer was rebooted.

The installed Windows Store apps are causing the issue.

Sysprep should've been run from WinPE to avoid errors.
