SOLVED Boot Images are not working with ADK 10.1.26100.2454

[rjm2884]

I’ve recently upgraded Configuration Manager from 2309 to 2409, and now to 2530. After the upgrade, I realized my boot images were outdated, so I installed the latest Windows ADK 10.1.26100.2454 along with the matching WinPE add-on to support Windows 11 24H2 deployments.

However, I’m running into constant issues. Reloading the boot images using the new ADK fails every time. I’ve also tried using copype to create a fresh boot image and attempted to import the generated boot.wim into SCCM, but that fails too.

So far, I’ve:

• Uninstalled both ADK and WinPE
• Redownloaded and reinstalled them
• Rebooted the server
• Cleaned up old Installed Roots registry entries from previous ADK versions
• Verified all folder paths and permissions

Despite all this, I’m still unable to reload or import a boot image using ADK 10.1.26100.2454. I need to begin deploying Windows 11 24H2 in my environment, and being stuck with outdated boot images is becoming a blocker.

Has anyone successfully gotten 26100.2454 working with ConfigMgr 2530? Any advice or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply. So currently I'm unable to image my machines with anything above 23H2. When I attempt to image machines with 24H2 or 25H2 OS, the task sequence just hangs after about 8 applications, every time without fail. I've put this down to the boot image in SCCM not updating to the latest ADK

So here's what i'd do next. Make a copy of your TS and disable the apps and see if the TS completes.
If it completes then create a TS with just the apps and deploy it to Software Center as Available.
Run the TS from SC and see what happens because it sounds more like the app is waiting for user input, because at this stage the image would have been loaded and the pc restarted into the Operating System rather than into PE, right?

You could also make a copy of the TS and deploy it in debugging mode and watch it in real time step by step.
