Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
We are using one primary site currently running version 1910 (upgrading this Friday to 2002). We have 12 DPs and we've been dealing with an intermittent issue where one DP will "randomly" stop responding to PXE requests. All the other DPs (which are all configured as PXE/Boot servers for other physical locations in the Site) continue to work uninterrupted.
In each case, looking at the SMSPXE.log will show the following error messages repeatedly:
Unable to open the image file (0x8007000B) SMSPXE 9/30/2020 12:02:31 AM 3432 (0x0D68)

If I trace the logs back to when the issue begins, it seems to be triggered when I see the following message:
PXE Provider finished loading. SMSPXE 9/29/2020 11:37:26 PM 2652 (0x0A5C)
Boot image HCS00077 has changed since added SMSPXE 9/30/2020 12:02:31 AM 3432 (0x0D68)
Based on my troubleshooting, this issue seems to randomly happen after the PXE service restarts. It has happened on multiple different servers, but usually only one randomly each time.
I've been running windows updates on the servers this week in preparation for the site upgrade Friday and today it happened after the server rebooted. Previously, we were doing work related to HTTPS/PKI on the site and I determined that some PKI changes cause the PXE service on the DP to restart which triggered the issue.
Our "Fix" in each case has been to redistribute the Boot Image to the DP that is affected. This resolves the issue.
I was hoping for some help in identifying why the issue may be happening. We are not making any changes to that Boot image, we've been using it consistently without issues up until this started to happen a couple months ago. I don't have any idea of anything that changed that caused this to begin happening.
Here's a larger sample of the SMSPXE.log:

Hi,
Thanks for posting in TechNet.
The error code 0x8007000B means "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format".
1.This issue may be due to some kind of mismatch between x86 and x64 boot images vs. OS image or possibly with WinPE. What version of Windows ADK and boot images you are using? If possible, please upgarde Windows ADK and Windows PE Add-on to the latest version and "Reload this boot image with the current Windows PE version from the Windows ADK" to have a try.
For more detailed steps, please refer to: Step-By-Step Guide To Update Windows ADK On SCCM Server
2.When we have an environment with HTTPS only, based on my experience, every DP should have two certificate: one for the DP itself and one for the client. The client must have a valid Boot images for deploying operating systems certificate for the client to communicate with the site and for the PXE OSD deployment to continue. And the PXE-enabled DP also need a certificate for Site systems that have a distribution point installed to communicate with HTTPS-enabled management point. Please help check if the certificates are ok.
For more information, please refer to: PKI certificates for clients
3.If possible, please help create an identical task sequence and deploy it to your collections to have a try.
Hope my answer could help you. Thanks for your time.
Best regards,
Simon
