Time to fix my Windows (pun intended) :chuckle:

Nice. Fortunately the service i'm trying to add isn't that advanced in the amount of files/modifications it needs, but it still won't let add itself.

Even after monitoring/comparing the registry...

Well, i have an off topic question for you guys (not sure if its worth a new thread).

Is it possible to add/create a new Windows service by using REG ADD only and typing all the required registry...

AFAIK there's no official 16299.125 ISO/ESD out. The store apps problem was resolved by a hotfix (can't recall where i found it though).

I'm using wimlib, it has some improved DISM (and imagex)...

Hmm, peraps that's the reason why i noticed a sh*tload of BackgroundTask processes/instances at first boot.
But.. Microsoft delivers updated ISO/ESD releases without these temp/pending files. I want...

I'm trying to create a clean and updated Windows 10 Pro installation and updated an official 16299.64 build to 16299.125 using wimlib-imagex.

All went fine but after inspecting the resulting...

Amazing... I've again made some progress but i can't tell how i did it because i don't know what solved it.

Well, since i seem to be the only person that's active here i'll post another update on the current situation.

Because i literally got fed up with trying and trying, i decided to give the English...

*** formatting appears to be messed up? (no new lines) ***. - Apparently the problem seems to be occurring during sysprepping and/or generalizing. Deleting all but one index from install.wim...

I've recorded a video to demonstrate the problem/error(s) in detail: Windows 10 custom install.wim problem (Hyper-V + DISM) - YouTube

Progress!

Instead of searching for answers why sysprep wouldn't shutdown, i choosed "shutdown system" instead.
After this i carried on with the guide (well, actually i went on with this), to...

Well, setupact.log surely has a lot of information. There are a few errors but i'm not sure if i should post the whole thing (starting from the new sysprep run) or just the errors.

I can't seem to...

Yes! But apparently (and unfortunately) it shows an error which states that it wasn't able to validate my Windows installation.

A solution i found (which didn't work) mentioned that you could...

If i'm right, my previous post's title says: "Hyper-V not shutting down VM at "Enable System Out-of-Box Experience" ;)

I did what was stated in the screen capture (the guide is easy to follow).

I'm stuck at 3.8~3.9.

For some unknown reason my VM doesn't shut down after doing its thang at the "Enable System Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE)" + generalize + shutdown screen/prompt (i'm trying to...
