    Seems I can no longer use this project with the multi oem/retail project anymore. This project breaks the oem branding. :( Going into audit mode stops oobe.cmd file from running. :(

    Tried with win 8.1 on my HP laptop.

    The work around for win 8.1 to work with multi oem/retail project and this project...
    -edit autounattend.xml and remove audit section and save.
    -once at first interaction screen hit ctrl/shift/f3.
    -branding will already be in place and you can now install what you wish.

    Im having a bit of a problem on my Tablet. Im using the CE windows 10 version. All creates well using default UEFI-DEFAULT config.

    When i go to refresh/reset the Tablet from the recovery tools menu. process. The system fails with no changes.

    I had this working fine on windows 8.1 and the first release of Windows 10.

    Please can someone shed light on my problem

    Thanks

    What do you mean the system fails? Remember win10 doesnt have a recovery so to speak. It will download new OS via internet and use that to reset/reinstall. Another reason I went back to win8.1. lol

    What i mean is, the system fails on refresh and reset. once i enter the recovery environment and start the process.

    Question was more whether you installed additional stuff besides the Recovery ...?

    No. I just copied over the recovery folder. Installed drivers and updates, then ran the sysprep script.

    Without more detailed info, it is hard to say. I have never had an issue like yours since I have been using this project.

    I had this working fine over a year ago on windows 8.1 .

    Im using the same tablet fully formatted.
    ive created the USB drive with windows 10 CE. copied the relevant files and started the install. I have added the drivers and ran windows update in audit mode. Then i have run the syspreb script. I am using the default UEFI partition txt file.

    All is good and boots in to windows and the system sets up. Now i use the recovery menu to reset the tablet and it fails after 12%, saying no changes where made and it resets back to my normal windows.

    I too had it working at one point but it has been a while. Think I will just do a regular install and call it quits. lol I am tired of working on this lappy.

    Did you used the newer ScanState files (available on the firt page of this thread) or the old one from the "Anniversary Edition" ?

    Did you used the "Reset My PC" or the "Fresh Start" option ?

    Yes I did. I have sorted it now. I turned off secureboot in the tablet bios and the tablet is resetting and refreshing fine now.

    Thank you.

    Well, if you create a recovery image with my software, everything will be restored, including drivers and application if you use the recovery option after.

    But you will need to create the image first.

    I'll definitely get a look at this. It looks interesting and like something I could use in my own setups. Thanks for the links!
