Yes, we have noticed some of our machines having this issue. We normally will just turn on legacy boot and make it work. Sometimes, like 8/10 it's a bios issue and if you update the bios it helps. Also, if that doesn't solve it then I would disable secure boot and try again. Hope this helps!

An alternative to this would be to deploy through WDS. I personally manage all of the images/vm/WDS side and my team can deploy to the machines as they please through a network boot. It's rather handy, but make sure you configure the required options (66 and 67 I think) on your DHCP server. Check here for a starting point http://windowsitpro.com/networking/configuring-dhcp-and-wds. Definitely 66 and 67, I just checked my notes. If you are fancying this route for your deployment I have information, that would hopefully be helpful, stored in evernote that I could export and send you.

Okay my man here is what support told me on making a gold image. First off remove the AV. They have specifically told me that imaging a windows 10 machine with an AV is not something you should do because it can cause errors. Smart Deploy actually has a list in the PDF manual (http://download.smartdeploy.com/SDEUsersGuide.pdf , page 10) In addition to what they mention: 1. Have a Windows 10 Volume License. This is important because an image can only be syspreped a certain number of times and the volume license is the recommended (required?) way that they tell you to keep your deployments licensed. Disclaimer (I have not fully tested this, but I have done this to my most recent master image of win10 and if it works well I will be doing this to all of my win10 images.) 2. I used this code to remove the built in apps in an administrative version of Powershell from the built in Administrator account: get-appxpackage *messaging* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *sway* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *commsphone* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *windowsphone* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *phone* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *communicationsapps* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *people* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *zunemusic* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *zunevideo* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *zune* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *bingfinance* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *bingnews* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *bingsports* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *bingweather* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *bing* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *onenote* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *alarms* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *calculator* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *camera* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *photos* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *maps* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *soundrecorder* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *xbox* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *solitaire* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *officehub* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *skypeapp* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *getstarted* | remove-appxpackage get-appxpackage *3dbuilder* | remove-appxpackage Then I used this code to hold the changes and, hopefully, prevent win10 from installing the built in apps again: $Applist = Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -online $Applist | WHere-Object {$_.packagename -like "*3DBuilder*"} | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online

I have been deploying with WDS for about 2 months now and have been troubleshooting most of the way! EDIT: I do not know of a way to do the same type of thing within either local policy or AD GPO.
