SCCM Capture Issues

I have been building base images the same way for years. Suddenly I have issues and I don't know why. I build a laptop with the latest version of Windows 10. I make a registry change to disable Animation and another one to remove the checkmarks, and then I install .NET 3.5. I mount the CAPTURE iso from SCCM and run the process. Usually I just save to a subfolder somewhere and the image gets captured. That was all working fine until recently. Now I have to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable on the reference laptop before the capture will even run. This morning I was able to capture the image, but there seemed to be issues with it when i used in a Task Sequence. I think it was because I used an older version of the CAPTURE media and the boot wim changed since then. Not sure. Here nor there. I redid the laptop and installed the missing Redistributable and the capture failed as if there were sysprep errors. Tried again and the same thing happened. Did something change?

I am able to use WimWitch to create a good wim for deployment but it is missing a local account that is required

    I ended up using WimWitch and creating a custom image with that tool. Super easy to do. Then I added a Task sequence step to run a PowerShell script that adds the missing local account that started this mess. Since it works, I am not dedicating anymore time in figuring this out.

    You can achieve all of it through task sequence steps. Why the long and inefficient way Matt?
