Hello,

I'm trying to deploy Windows 11 24H2 via WADS.

When I boot from the USB drive generated via the WAPT console, with Secure Boot enabled, an error message appears immediately: WinPE cannot start.
If I disable Secure Boot, the Windows 11 installation doesn't work, because Windows 11 24H2 cannot be installed without Secure Boot.
Any solutions?

I'm using WAPT 2.5.

Sincerely,
Florian

Hello,

have you changed the template for 24h2 (see here):

viewtopic.php?p=14546?

Note: For Windows 11, the PC must be able to perform a secure boot, but if it's not enabled, that's fine.

Thanks for the clarification, indeed the template is the problem; but the installation fails after disk partitioning, even on the basic template... I'll wisely stick with 23h2 until Microsoft fixes the issues.
