Fix: Sysprep fails to verify Windows 11 installation

Issues may occur with Sysprep on Windows 11, 10 and 8 platforms. When this issue occurs, the Sysprep command does not run and verify the installation as expected. Please refer to the following Windows 11/10 solutions if you have Sysprep issues that need to be fixed.

How do Sysprep errors occur in Windows?

Since Windows 8, Sysprep still cannot verify that your Windows installation is correct. This issue usually occurs due to user-installed UWP apps. Many users have reported that this issue has been resolved by uninstalling certain UWP apps installed from the MS Store.

This problem may be caused by the lack of default applications pre-installed by Windows. If this happens, you need to reinstall the missing Windows applications. The normal reinstall application command will do the job.

If you are using Windows Professional and Enterprise, Sysprep errors may be caused by the BitLocker encryption feature. The Sysprep utility does not integrate well with BitLocker. Sometimes disabling this feature is also feasible on Windows Professional and Enterprise editions and can resolve this error.
