    with or without MRP.
    if it's with i've met him a few times but not for since my last tests.
    Look on the thread, I think this has been discussed.

    Pardon me but I can't locate it in MRP's thread, may I know how do you overcome with the aforementioned error?

    It seems to me that it was Enthousiast who was the first to report the problem. Here.
    Random and infrequent problem for me. No solution found.

    Im not 100% sure but it could be either a code fault in explorer.exe more so with w11.

    Or too many context menu entries. But that would appear every time so doubt it that.

    Could be a 3rd party app or dll etc that is installed which can interlink with explorer.exe that confuses something in the os.

    All speculation and maybe a error introduced into explorer shell by ms via a later cu.

    Somehow using the "RunOnce use old Sync" option from MRPConfigCreator.exe solve the issue for me, tested thrice on vm ware player with this option enabled along with others, no occurence of Fail Fast Exception happened :)

    In my testing I didn't use any script(s)(SetupComplete.cmd, UserTweaks.cmd, etc.) other than unattend.xml to skip oobe stage:)

    My approach is different. I never modify install.wim.
    I only use MRP and SetupComplete.cmd for custom Windows installations.
    This allows me to limit my research in case of problems.

    I really have an atypical way of proceed. Like the others, it has its pros and cons.
    I use standalone silent installers which I place in a specific folder according to my needs.
    ex :
    Code:
    D:\#_installation_silencieuse_#.
    |   7-Zip.exe
    |   @Driver_Install.exe
    |   @VMwareTools.exe
    |   AIMP.exe
    |   AOMEIPartitionAssistant.exe
    |   AppData_Restore.exe
    |   AutoRun_Disable.exe
    |   Bonjour.exe
    |   Directory_Opus.exe
    |   EasyBCD.exe
    |   EasyUEFI.exe
    |   Firefox.exe
    |   HashCheck.exe
    |   HxD_Hex_Editor.exe
    |   LTSC_2021_to_IoT.exe
    |   LTSC_Appx.exe
    |   MKVToolNix.exe
    |   Notepad++.exe
    |   RemoveEdge.exe
    |   RemoveUUPApps.exe
    |   Shell_Folders_D-username.exe
    |   StartAllBack.exe
    |   StartIsBack++.exe
    |   TeamViewer.exe
    |   Thunderbird.exe
    |   Tweak_Windows.exe
    |   VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe
    |   WindowsDefender_Tweak.exe
    |   WindowsFirewallControl.exe
    |   WindowsServer.exe
    |   WinMerge.exe
    |   Z_DefaultAppAssociations.exe
    |
    \---Disabled
            ZZ_Debug.exe
    SetupComplete.cmd
    Code:
    @echo off
    setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
    
    for /f "tokens=3* delims= " %%i in ('reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE" 2^>^&1 ^| findstr /i "MRP_Version_Used"') do set "MRPVersion=%%i"
    if not defined MRPVersion (
        REM reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer /v AsyncRunOnce /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f >nul 2>&1
        reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v "EnableFirstLogonAnimation" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 2>&1
        reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "EnableFirstLogonAnimation" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 2>&1
    )
    set APPFOLDER=#_installation_silencieuse_#
    for %%a in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist "%%a:\%APPFOLDER%\" set DRIVE=%%a:
        IF exist (%DRIVE%) do (
            for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /b "%DRIVE%\%APPFOLDER%\*.exe"') do (
                echo %%i >>%SystemDrive%\Apps.log
                start "" /wait /b "%DRIVE%\%APPFOLDER%\%%i"
            )
    )
    
    del /f /q "%PUBLIC%\Desktop\*.lnk" >nul
    
    cd \
    (goto) 2>nul & (if "%~dp0"=="%SystemRoot%\Setup\Scripts\" rd /s /q "%~dp0")

    Another finding which I like to share here is that certain option(s) may cause the aforementioned error when modified wim is used like in my case it was 'Show Seconds In System Clock'.
    So its better to use untouched ISO for the proper functioning of MRP
