Issue/Introduction

When trying to image multiple PCs the boot.wim for WinPE loads and then te following Windows Boot Manager failure is observed:

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
Status: 0xc000000d

If only one or two machines are tried then WinPE works.  

If this is tried over and over (often 15 times or more per PC) WinPE will finally load and then imaging works fine.

Environment

Cause

An old ADK version was still in use.
