As an addition to the articles above, to keep things simple, Quest KACE recommends avoiding the use of an upgraded Windows image. It is always preferred to create a new VM, and install the Windows 10 Build desired to capture a new image.
B- Another common issue after deleting OS packages or provisioned app, is the result of hidden/missing menu while viewing the “Security Settings” page. (See example below)
If it is necessary to delete provisioned apps on Windows before sysprep, it is important to be careful, as some provisioned apps are key for the operating system.
