Windows 10 DISM Symbolic link points to W drive

Hi Experts,

I work on windows 10 image creation using the DISM commands. Once the image.wim is created i will reapply the image to the pc and ship to customers.

Now I am seeing an issue in windows 10 20H2 image, where the symbolic link is pointing to W drive instead of C Drive and this is causing issue in the production when the team tries to run the application they are unable to run because the link is pointing to W drive.

Herewith below find the screenshots for reference.

Hi,

Thanks for posting on our forum!

I would like to check if the second image indicates that you have entered the volume label. If so, try to recreate symbolic link to c drive or to change the target of your symbolic link to c drive with an assistance of some third-party tools like Link Shell Extension:
