Excellent! I forgot about the option to use the “setupcomplete.cmd” script. I’ll implement that now as well instead of deleting the files and folders manually after sysprep.

Yes, I have copyprofile in my XML file.
Yes, I boot up with a WinPE ISO and/or flash drive to capture my image. The link below should help with making one of those ISO files (or flash drives).
I too would like to delete those files before Windows shuts down however they seem to still be in use. That could be why sysprep does not remove them as it should.

I cannot believe it but early results are positive! The same Win 10 Pro x64 1703 UEFI image that has been causing me problems appears to be working after I have logged in with my domain account! My Office 2016 apps did not lock up, IE and Edge did not hang, Search is working VERY quickly now, and I have functioning tiles!
This is basically a summary of the files/folders to delete that were in my previous link to the MS TechNet site. I had to sysprep, reboot into WinPE, and then delete them as some were in use by Windows.
“C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache”
“C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache”
“C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCacheLock.dat”“C:\users\default user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache”
“C:\Users\default user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache”
“C:\Users\default user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCacheLock.dat”“C:\Users\Default\AppData\LocalLow”
Maybe this will work for you too.

RE: Windows 10 1703 Image with strange issueposted in Windows Problems
Dang! I was hoping it was resolved. I’ve rebuilt the image from scratch at least 5 times. I’ve even kept it off the network during the initial build and then immediately tried using my sysprep.xml. Same results.
I’m not currently a FOG user but do use GHOST. We’re slowly making the move to MDT and SCCM but that’s a little ways off still.
Yes, I’m using the copyprofile option as I like for the users to have a consistent desktop experience.
I have used O&O ShutUp a handful of times but never did so on my images.
I build my images in Virtualbox. I am maintaining a BIOS based image and have created a UEFI one as most of our machines now will support it. My typical steps to build an image with VBox are as follows:
1.) Set up the VBox VM (4 cores, 4GB, 60GB HDD, bridged LAN - disabled though until setup is complete, no floppy, ISO is VL Windows 10 x64, then save the bare snapshot
2.) Run through setup of Windows 10
3.) When Cortana starts, I hit CTRL-SHIFT-F3 to reboot in audit mode
4.) Save the snapshot
5.) Add MS VCRedist as well as enable .NET 2.0 and 3.5 via Progs and Features
6.) Run all MS Updates
7.) Install apps such as Chrome Enterprise x64, Firefox, Office 365 2016 x86, CCleaner, FileZilla, KLCodec, Acrobat Reader DC, VPN, Screenpresso, 7-Zip, and a few other apps, set custom desktop wallpaper, some desktop icons, and a few taskbar changes
8.) Shut down and take a snapshot
9.) I usually sysprep it at this point and then test it out. All is fine until a different user logs in (usually my domain account) which I’m a local administrator on this system.I did run across this link below which may be promising. The last several posts toward the end of the page hint on a few more items to clean up that may take care of the issue. I’m officially on vacation as of about 2 hours ago but plan on trying this out ASAP.
Thanks for the quick reply!

RE: Windows 10 1703 Image with strange issueposted in Windows Problems
I have the exact same problem with 1703.
Everything works fine until I log in with an account other than the Administrator account (even new accounts that are members of the local admins group). I’ve been building Windows images for many years and always seem to hit a wall.
I am also using a new unattend.xml file and using the “copyprofile=true” option as I did with 1607 and prior builds.
Did you come across any more info on this issue?
Thanks
Chris
