Does it throw any errors? Depending on what you did, it might need a reboot to assure no pending operations left . In my tests it either failed with an error or went down.
...I had the same problem the solution was shut down some system processes services... i dont know what the process let the sysprep in a continuous loop,but happen in 1607.
If you did restart after any updates/software install, if it does not auto shutdown, then do it by hand. Create image. Restart to test. What worse can happen? It might not work, if so then start again. If it works you already have good image Probably quicker than reading the replies here...
