Hello, Windows 10 does a lot of things during a "Windows Update". Running it in a VM is a good idea as to not get driver updates. There are a few more things that occur which cause issues. The reason ImageAssist usually fails after an update is because the system can no longer be sysprepped. To verify that, you can manually browse to sysprep. C:\windows\System32\sysprep and run the executable. If sysprep fails, then the IA tool will fail as well. The biggest culprit is when the OS itself is upgraded. Windows 10 will upgrade to the newest version which will not allow sysprep to run. Microsoft is telling us that "Redstone" will not have this issue. Also be aware that "Candy crush Saga" and "Twitter" may install as well, causing sysprep to no longer work. Hope this helps...TK
Hi Everyone, I am having an issue where ImageAssist gets stuck indefinitely at a specific point each time that I run it. I am attempting to capture a Windows 10 OEM image created using VMWare Workstation 12. This post outlines the exact steps that I have taken:[URL] ImageAssist then hangs at step 32 of that process as shown in the screenshot below: [IMAGE] I actually left ImageAssist running overnight and it never progressed beyond this point. The Virtual Hard Disk is certainly large enough (60GB) and I have not had any issues with the image at all. I even started from scratch and re-created the whole image to test again and ImageAssist still hangs at this exact step. Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated!
