    Is this project the best way to create an iso that is user selected debloated and ready to do an in-place upgrade or is there a better script?

    The occurrence of the 0xc00000bb (STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED) error on winload.efi specifically when the machine reboots for the first time after file copying (entering OOBE) confirms that the ISO boot environment and boot.wim (WinPE) are functioning properly, pointing the root cause directly to modifications made inside install.wim via sub_Tweaks.ps1, SYSTEM.reg, sub_Boot.ps1, sub_Updates.ps1, or sub_Unmount.ps1.

    During the final phase of Windows Setup, bcdboot extracts \Windows\Boot\EFI\bootmgfw.efi, \Windows\System32\winload.efi, \Windows\System32\Config\BCD-Template, and \Windows\System32\Config\SYSTEM from install.wim onto the target disk. The 4 primary root causes triggering winload.efi error 0xc00000bb on the initial boot and their exact script fixes are detailed below:

    Step 1: Fix CurrentControlSet and Boot-Critical Driver (Start=0) Errors in SYSTEM.reg

    An offline, mounted install.wim registry hive (HKLM\WIM_SYSTEM) does not contain a CurrentControlSet key; that key is a dynamic symbolic link created exclusively at runtime by the active Windows kernel.

    • Open WimDirector_5.2.0/Data/Tweaks/SYSTEM.reg in a text editor.
    • Replace every occurrence of CurrentControlSet with ControlSet001. If a static CurrentControlSet key is written into an offline image, winload.efi fails to mount the actual control set during initial boot and halts with 0xc00000bb.
    • Remove any tweaks that modify the Start values of core storage, filesystem, and filter drivers (Wof, FsDepends, fvevol, volmgr, volsnap, partmgr, mountmgr, stornvme, storahci, EhStorClass), particularly values set to dword:00000004 (disabled). Disabling Wof (Windows Overlay Filter) or FsDepends prevents winload.efi from reading compressed or overlayed system files, immediately causing STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED (0xc00000bb).
    • Eliminate unsupported VBS/HVCI enforcements or FeatureSettingsOverride parameters under ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management or DeviceGuard that the target CPU/firmware cannot initialize.
    • Verification: Mount the image and execute reg query HKLM\WIM_SYSTEM to confirm that no static CurrentControlSet subkey exists and only ControlSet001 and Select are present.
    Step 2: Resolve the pending.xml and /ResetBase Conflict in sub_Updates.ps1

    When cumulative updates (LCU) are integrated via WimDirector_5.2.0/Data/Scripts/sub_Updates.ps1, essential boot/kernel binaries (winload.efi, ntoskrnl.exe) often remain in an InstallPending state queued in \Windows\WinSxS\pending.xml to be finalized during the first boot.

    • Open WimDirector_5.2.0/Data/Scripts/sub_Updates.ps1.
    • If Dism /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase is executed, remove the /ResetBase switch or ensure it only executes when pending.xml does not exist:
    # Safe component cleanup inside sub_Updates.ps1:

    $PendingXml = "$MountDir\Windows\WinSxS\pending.xml"

    if (-not (Test-Path $PendingXml)) {

    & dism.exe /Image:"$MountDir" /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

    } else {

    Write-Host "Pending servicing operations detected (pending.xml). Skipping /ResetBase..." -ForegroundColor Yellow

    & dism.exe /Image:"$MountDir" /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

    }

    • Never run manual file removals (Remove-Item) against \Windows\WinSxS\Temp, \Windows\WinSxS\Backup, or pending.xml inside sub_Packager.ps1 or sub_Tweaks.ps1. Deleting the servicing staging directory while pending operations exist corrupts the bootloader handoff and triggers 0xc00000bb.
    • Verification: Run dism /Image:"$MountDir" /Get-Packages after update integration to verify package states are valid and no 0x800f0806 staging errors occur.
    Step 3: Inspect EFI and BCD-Template Alterations in sub_Boot.ps1

    The WimDirector_5.2.0/Data/Scripts/sub_Boot.ps1 script directly alters the boot configuration and bootloader files.

    • Open WimDirector_5.2.0/Data/Scripts/sub_Boot.ps1.
    • Disable any commands running bcdedit against \Windows\System32\Config\BCD-Template inside install.wim, or replacing files under \Windows\Boot\EFI\ with binaries from different builds.
    • If install.wim is patched to a newer LCU build where winload.efi is updated, but \Windows\Boot\EFI\bootmgfw.efi is overwritten by an older file, bcdboot copies that older bootmgfw.efi to the system's EFI System Partition (ESP); the mismatched loader cannot execute the newer winload.efi, returning 0xc00000bb.
    • Verification: Check the file properties of \Windows\Boot\EFI\bootmgfw.efi and \Windows\System32\winload.efi inside the mounted install.wim to ensure their product build numbers match.
    Step 4: Audit /Remove Execution in FeatureList.txt / CapabilityList.txt and Hive Unloading

    Removing packages or features defined in WimDirector_5.2.0/Data/Files/FeatureList.txt and CapabilityList.txt via sub_Engine.ps1 or sub_Matrix.ps1 can disrupt the servicing queue if executed out of order with updates.

    • Ensure all component removal routines run before cumulative updates are integrated (sub_Updates.ps1), or only after confirming that no pending.xml queue exists (verify the execution order in sub_Master.ps1).
    • In sub_Unmount.ps1, invoke garbage collection prior to running reg.exe unload on offline hives (HKLM\WIM_SYSTEM, HKLM\WIM_SOFTWARE) to release dangling PowerShell handles:
    [gc]::Collect()

    [gc]::WaitForPendingFinalizers()

    • Verification: Inspect the log files in WimDirector_5.2.0/logs/ during unmount to ensure no "Access is denied" errors appear on registry hive unloading and that dism /Unmount-Image /Commit completes at 100.0% cleanly.
    To pinpoint the exact faulty line in your build scripts, extract and paste the contents of:

    • WimDirector_5.2.0/Data/Tweaks/SYSTEM.reg
    • WimDirector_5.2.0/Data/Scripts/sub_Boot.ps1
    • WimDirector_5.2.0/Data/Scripts/sub_Tweaks.ps1
    • WimDirector_5.2.0/Data/Scripts/sub_Updates.ps1

    It would be better if you updated the specified files and shared them.
    It will be more convenient for those who use this script.

    Everyone has different tastes.
    As far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing better than this script—at least for now.
    Once again, our thanks go to SunLion.:worthy:

    Code:
    Below are the complete, updated versions of the critical files for WimDirector_5.2.0 engineered to eliminate the winload.efi (0xc00000bb / STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED) blue screen on first boot, followed by an automated in-place patcher script (Patch-WimDirector.ps1) that can also update your existing directory structure automatically.
    1. WimDirector_5.2.0/Data/Tweaks/SYSTEM.reg
    Save the following content as WimDirector_5.2.0/Data/Tweaks/SYSTEM.reg. It targets ControlSet001 exclusively (avoiding static CurrentControlSet corruption in offline images) and explicitly locks critical boot-start storage and filter drivers (Wof, FsDepends, mountmgr, partmgr, volmgr, stornvme, storahci) to Start=0 so winload.efi never fails during kernel handoff.

    Code:
    The automated Patch-WimDirector.ps1 script provided previously was complete and uninterrupted; however, to ensure full end-to-end pipeline compatibility across WimDirector_5.2.0 (Data/Scripts/), the remaining 4 complementary modules (sub_Engine.ps1, sub_Packager.ps1, sub_ISO.ps1, and the execution orchestrator sub_Master.ps1) must also be updated.

    Implementation Summary
     * Option A (Automated in-place patch): Place the Patch-WimDirector.ps1 script in your WimDirector_5.2.0 root directory alongside Runme.cmd and run it in PowerShell. It creates backups (.bak) of your existing files while automatically patching all CurrentControlSet, /ResetBase, reg unload, and driver-start issues across your scripts and registry files.
     * Option B (Direct file replacement): Overwrite files 1–5 from the previous reply and files 7–10 above into their respective directories (Data\Tweaks\ and Data\Scripts\).

    I can't fathom why you're messing around with scripts that don't work properly, given that SunLion's script is proven and works without any issues.

    And you won’t understand, because it seems you’re very far removed from this subject; if you can’t see or understand the difference between ordinary scripts and this tool, you don’t see or understand its philosophy and purpose. Therefore, I advise you to stick to scripts at your own level – good luck!

    I agree for someone just wants turn-key, debloated Windows setup that just works, with minimal issues and drag -- Slimdown10 sets a very high bar for results. However, Windows, and especially Windows 11 SKUs (even IoT LTSC) are absolutely heinously bloated with tons of crap that does no good what so ever, and every tool and script that tries to raise the bar, or solve problems that haven't been solved is a win for everyone.

    sainfo's approch is unique and already does things cleanly other approaches have not accomplished. As Microsoft get's more ambitious and onerous in its monetization plans for Windows, you'll be very glad for every and anyone working on this in any capacity.

    And I'm so glad you're here and do, sainfo, Mavericks Choice and bendeyar and well.. In fact everyone that posts to SunLion's threads -- because there's more then any one of us has time to build & test, and everyone's contributions the rise in tide that lifts all boats.
