    Hello
    Last night I used the following command to generate an answer file:

    Sysprep /oobe

    After it rebooted it wanted to install Windows 10 again, and after the third screen it couldn't execute a command. I tried booting in the SAFE mode and it did the same thing. Is there a way to get my Windows 10 Pro back without doing a re install of Windows? Can I some how do a restore from the Backup partition? I'm ust guessing. I would really appreciate any and all assistance concerning my issue.
    Thank Yoi.

    That command is supposed to be used to create a base image or when transferring hardware.OOBE means out of box experience & running that command will make a windows install behave just like a 1st time windows install on next boot.

    Thank you for responding. Is there a way to get out of this loop so I can get back to my Windows 10 without doing a re intall of windows?

    Afaik no way to break this. Still all your Programs and Setting should prevail after going through the OOBE.

    Next time use/create Image backups of your system or try such experiments in a VM :D.

    That sounds like a good idea using a VM. Which VM program would you recommend for my notebook/laptop (see signature)?
    Doesn't Windows 10 have a backup partition? When Windows 10 installs, it creates four partitions.
    Thank You.

    If you'd like a Windows 10 ServerRdsh ported with Windows Server Backup, I can offer 17134.1 one, or 16299.15. Just tell me your language.

    For Sysprep:

    1. Sysprep /audit /reboot
    2. Delete all users (except Administrator)
    3. Sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown
    4. Capture the image as install.wim offline via Windows PE or other installation
    5. Put the captured install.wim into an appropriate iso's sources folder to replace the original one, then save the iso as a new file, e.g. Win10_Pro_15063_x64.iso.

    That's it.

    Or use Dism++ to capture the image online (without Sysprep) into a backup wim file, e.g. Win10_Pro_15063_x64.wim. Then you can restore the system by formatting the original partition, and applying Win10_Pro_15063_x64.wim to that partition via Windows PE or other installation.

    Not opens fine here either. It does in your machine cause maybe you're not using an ad blocker or wide spectrum blocker such as uBlocko.

    Damn! uBlock's blocking lot of domains /scared /lol

    With PostImage I didn't have any problems. Other Picture Hosters showing quite a bit of problem. And really why do I need to use a hoster which requires that the pictures are opened on their Website? Using just BBCODE and use IMG Tags on MDL (as an example), the viewer doesn't need to open up a different Website, he/she could just 'see' the picture in question!

    And for sure, PostImage is an https site!

    Did you install Antivirus package before syspreping? This could be why it's crashing. Clean install time I'm sorry to say...
