I'm seeing a reproducible hang in fully command-line-driven builds that started right after the 8/18 update (v2026.08.11704). The same preset and image worked fine via CLI automation before that update, and still completes fine if I drive it manually through the GUI, it only hangs when run via the command line.
Command Used:
NTLite.exe /Path:"D:\Win11_Pro_Image2" /Load /Index:1 /Preset:"D:\Carlton_Win11.xml" /Apply /CreateIso:"D:\Carlton_Win11.iso" /IsoLabel:"Carlton_Win11" /Exit:AfterApply /NewInstance
The image mounts successfully, and the registry hive load completes normally (confirmed via Windows' own System event log — hive access history cleared for install.wim's mounted SOFTWARE/SYSTEM hives). Right after that, NTLite's own log (NTLite.log) freezes on the line SM [m]: clr and never produces another line. I've let it sit for over an hour with no further progress.
Tried both /Save:save and /Save:stop explicitly, identical hang either way.
Environment:
Any ideas how to get this working again?
Thanks,
Chris
