Win10 TS error-failed to stage winpe code 0x8007000f

Sometimes, while doing OS Imaging for Win10 with UEFI selected, you light get this error in the Task Sequence. The smsts.log says-failed to stage winpe.

Reason is-Winpe is unable to stage on existing partitions, and requires a GPT partition for UEFI.

Solution-Before you select the Task Sequence to run, or when whn you get the error, press F8, and open cmd. Then run diskpart commands.

select disk 0
clean
convert gpt
create partition primary size=300
format quick fs=ntfs label="Windows RE tools"
assign letter="T"
create partition efi size=100
format quick fs=fat32 label="System"
assign letter="S"
create partition msr size=128
create partition primary
format quick fs=ntfs label="Windows"
assign letter="C"

Then retry the Imaging and chose not to clean the Disk.
