I see a few things on this log that raise a flag:
X:\sms\data\WinPE does not exist. TSBootShell 560 (0x0230)
X:\_SmsTsWinPE\WinPE does not exist. TSBootShell 560 (0x0230)

Could not create WMI locator class (80040154) TSBootShell 560 (0x0230)
spNamespace.Open(pszNameSpace), HRESULT=80040154 - I guess this is what your post is about?

and...
Failed to connect to WMI namespace \\.\ROOT\CIMV2 TSBootShell 560 (0x0230)
Volume C:\ is a USB device. TSBootShell 560 (0x0230)

It will help us if you provide more details on the issue.

Hi,
I know this is not a current post. But I have quite exactly same problem and wonder how @Sabian Cullum maybe fixed it.
Especially i note in my and his log the "Volume C:\ is a USB device." here , it looks like it cannot find the C: disk. Or am i wrong here ?

Is it just a disk controller driver we need ?

To reply to myself.
This fixed it. Uninstall ADK, reboot, actually downgrade ADK and reboot again. Then update boot image. Then it could boot.
