Your PC is not allowing access to the Registry - your second log also confirms this... What other A/V or security software are you running ?

Here is the video for what I am doing: - YouTube
I don't use any AV other than Defender.
The attachment is list of softwares.

Select the "Codebox" Button at top of builder and enter

Code:

ShellExecute,Hide,cmd.exe,"/C echo ..."
Message,%exitcode%

Hit Green Button
should return " 0 "

Note that Codebox needs a [Process] section too. You can see in his video he removes it. So nothing has been Executed in reality.

There is no known issue regarding the Project - it was as you both pointed out an issue with your PC... The project is not responsible for the error you had, although it did find an issue with your PC.. So in the long run, Win10XPE worked in repairing your PC.....
And the check on CMD.exe has been part of project since Nov. 18, 2019 , so it is rather funny that it has created issues since April 2021 (as reported in your other forum)....
So again the project worked as intended, by halting the build...
So in closing, you can now go back and figure out what you did to damage the prior User Account
But now we are aware of another troubleshooting method or suggestion - and that is to create another "User Account" to reset the "System and Registry" as the New User does not contain all the modifications the prior User made...

The "list out of bounds" error appears in 2 places by my google search result:
1. Win10XPE - Build Your Own Rescue Media - Page 247 - Windows 10 Forums (tenforums.com), solution for the discussion at page 251
2. My local forum (reply #61)

Both of them are around mid April, 2021, that's just what I saw, and I have no experience in Win10XPE project. I just ran into problem, and google for it, and found some places talk about it recently and no clear solution. So I made the point to here, with a theory about user account type, might be the cause of problem. Since online user account has Windows Hello security, I don't know if it can prevent the script. Again, just a theory. If it's user fault, I think it also be good to have a warning sign in the tutorial documents. If it's the project's issue, hopefully someone has time will give it a look. I can say it's not a big issue, but it seems present somewhere, even for a new user to follow exact steps from tutorial. And I appreciate the project work, too.

So I have another question from the previous post about hybrid boot with GRUB. If you or someone know, I hope to hear some idea.

At this reply, I have another small issue about the customized account picture. The builder tells me to copy a photo named "user-200.png" to D:\Win10XPE\Custom\UserAccountPicture folder, but when I use my photo, it won't change.
The UserAccountPicture folder by default (extracted from the .7z file) has 2 files:
- AccountPicture.accountpicture-ms
- user-200.png
But it seems the first one is the main role for the change, and I can't change the account picture with another "user-200.png" file.
If I remove the AccountPicture.accountpicture-ms file, the account picture will be blank.
I hope you can give it a try to see if it's an issue.
