Windows – Sysprep Removing All Updates Issue

sysprepwindowswindows updatewinpe

When we use Sysprep, it removes all Windows updates. When we do this, we have to install all the same updates every time we use the image. Is there a way we can make Sysprep keep the updates? Here is the command we use to sysprep a computer:

sysprep /oobe /generalize /unattend:unattend.xml

Thanks for any suggestions anyone has! Doing Google searches, I cannot seem to find any details on the matter. I would even be willing to accept answers that I can avoid Sysprep but still remove unique identifiers.

After doing some testing and changing our process one step at a time, I have found out that imagex removes the updates. I changed the process to sysprepping and then use clonezilla and that fixed the issue.
