Windows 10 Feature Updates in Audit Mode
Posted on 2016-09-22
I am working on creating and maintaining a Windows image for deploying Windows 10 Enterprise in my organization. I'd like to utilize an answer file so that I can continually update the image as new Windows updates come out, without encountering the rearm limit that limits you to only 3 Syspreps. The issue that I'm running into is when I attempt to download and install a "Feature Update" for Windows 10, I'm getting an error message "Windows 10 couldn't be installed. You can't install Windows while running in Audit Mode." I tried using PowerShell to install updates, and while I was able to get more updates, it still failed on the Feature Update.
Does anyone know of a work around? It seems counterproductive to not allow system builders to install major updates in Audit Mode.
Thanks,
Taryn

Always use a Virtual Machine
snapshot before sysprep
restore from snapshot after capture.

I understand what you're saying about creating a snapshot before Sysprep to eliminate the reactivation/rearm limit, but that still doesn't resolve the issue of being unable to install major Windows 10 updates, such as the "Feature Updates" while in Audit mode.

Windows 10 is mostly good. However the one thing that annoys me is how many clicks you have to do to dial a VPN connection. You have to go to settings from the start menu, (2 clicks), Network and Internet (1 click), Click VPN (another click) then fi…
