After the Litetouch OEM TS runs and the content is staged, on next boot up, no UEFI supported drives are found. To fix this, you must correct the litetouch oem task sequence. Before: After: Copy the corrected “Format and Partition..” steps from your deployment TS.

Scenario: Customer needed to lock down a specific user account in Windows 10, without effecting the local Administrator account. Unit was not going to be joining a Domain.
