Windows 11
I am working on creating a Golden Image of Windows 11 24H2 that has all the required configurations and applications for my company as Windows 10 is EOL this year.

The issue I am facing occurs when trying to deploy the image, I am consistently getting an error saying "Incorrect Function", log is pasted at the end.

I feel it might be important to mention I am using Windows PE on a Ventoy USB. The WIM is on the same USB, but this didn't cause any issues for Windows 10.

I've tried the exact same process with multiple fresh installs of Windows 11, all fail; However, Windows 10 succeeded first time (with same config), so I don't believe it's my process. The current process is as follows:

  1. Create reference image
  2. Boot into Windows PE
  3. Dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:"D:\Dev\GoldenImage.wim" /CaptureDir:W:\
For Deploying (I use official Microsoft Scripts from here)

  1. diskpart /s D:\Utils\CreatePartitions-UEFI.txt
  2. D:\Utils\ApplyImage.bat D:\Dev\GoldenImage.wim
And then I face the Incorrect Function Error (I've also had this error without MS Scripts)

Current things I have tried:
  • Not turning on any Hyper-V features, as I see in the log it mentions a Hyper-V License file
  • Windows 10 - Worked
  • Windows 11 deployed and captured on different devices - same Incorrect Function error
  • Windows 11 deployed without the Microsoft scripts
It appears I only get this error with any Windows 11 OS. When I used Windows 10, all devices worked completely fine without fail once. If anyone could let me know what they think could be going on, that would be greatly appreciated.

I see you resolved this already on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/1hwinev/windows_11_wim_incorrect_function_error

RestoreFileNodeList:(2545): Incorrect function. refers to an error condition when DISM is trying to capture files, and the original file sat on top of a reparse point (like a junction, or volume hidden by a virtualization layer), and whatever it captured can't be resolved. When /Apply-Image is extracting file nodes, it realizes that reference is no longer valid.

In theory, you wouldn't have needed WinPE to validate the /Apply-Image. It could be extracted to any valid NTFS filesystem as an extraction test. DISM is really trying hard to preserve hardlinks when capturing or extracting, because most of your image's Windows files are hardlinks to the WinSxS repository. If it didn't follow hardlinks correctly, the actual on-disk size would be bloated.
