    So I installed MDT and ADK, installed a base image of Win10 Pro, installed all the apps I needed, then went to take a capture and sysprep failed. Here's the setuperr log

    2017-11-28 14:19:10, Error                 SYSPRP Package Microsoft.BingNews_4.21.2212.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe was installed for a user, but not provisioned for all users. This package will not function properly in the sysprep image.

    It seems to be an issue that has happened before, for a while now. I've read some of the fixes that do not seem to work, without breaking something else, but why should I have to jump through hoops when it was a Microsoft installed problem? This is just really poor customer service. One of your Noobs created a Appx package incorrectly and then you pushed it out to the world. Why don't you fix it Microsoft? BTW, your software scanned my network without my permission, saw my Toshiba printers, then also installed Toshiba updates that are also misconfigured, and install the same way a Bing News.

    most of the issues with Sysprep in Windows 10 are related to Windows apps being updated in the background. This should set you up: https://deploymentresearch.com/Research/Post/615/Fixing-why-Sysprep-fails-in-Windows-10-due-to-Windows-Store-updates

    It's better to remove unwanted apps before start capture process.

    I prefer the scripts included in these repositories.  They offer more functionality than uninstalling the built-in apps.

    You should delete all profiles before running SYSPREP.  The only profiles that should be in your WIM is Administrator and Default.

    Thanks for the info, but everybody is missing the point. A Microsoft NOOB pushed out a mis-configured appx package to the world, and refuses to fix it. Instead, they make us jump through hoops like a circus pig, wasting our valuable time, all because they do not want to fix it. This is a customer hostile attitude.

    I disagree. I built a reference image based upon 1709 yesterday and it all worked without a hitch. All you need to do is to ensure that the app store does not update apps in the background. I understand your frustration and there is indeed the necessity to jump through hoops but please keep in mind that there is a simple workaround for your issue I linked above.

    This is correct.  Login as the local admin and delete all other users and profiles.

    I got the same problem on simple sysprep operation

    Workaround was PS command to remove this AppX for user:

    Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.BingNews* | Remove-AppxPackage

    I have to remove 2 packages, after that my sysprep operation finished succesfully

    I looked all over the place for this solution, and thank goodness I found it here. I can confirm this last post is the correct answer. Just remember whatever your appx(s) is that shows in the log, only use the appx name followed by an asterisk as in the command above. The log will show the app name followed by version number and other characters. Replace all characters after the appx name with the asterisk. This may be obvious to many, but I had to think about it a bit...  Thank you so much for saving my image build!!!!
