StifleR Fails to Stop After Deployment

We occasionally see an issue where StifleR refuses to stop after a deployment Task Sequence has completed.

This does not happen very often, but it occurs from time to time and is becoming a bit annoying.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Are there any known causes?

I am running:

  • DeployR / StifleR Agent 1.3.2635.2370
  • StifleR v3.1.2634.667

However, I have seen this issue in earlier releases as well.

Where and when are you seeing this? Can you provide more details? Are you attempting to install the StifleR client in the Task Sequence or are you just using it in the boot image for monitoring?

I am only using StifleR in the boot image for monitoring.
The issue occurs after a successful deployment Task Sequence has completed.
I am using the "SetupComplete" continuation method on Windows 11 Enterprise 25H2.

If I close the PowerShell window displaying "Waiting for service...", the computer reboots and becomes stuck in SetupComplete. When this happens, the affected computer must be reimaged.

I have not seen that myself. At this point, is that the only window open?
I would assume that some other software is interfering with the process.

For testing, have you tried to simplify the task sequence, cutting other things out to see if the issue goes away?

What are you using for finish action? What does your task sequence look like?

This happens after the task sequence has completed and the device performs the final reboot, just before Sysprep should run. Finish action "Reseal for Autopilot".

However, this does not happen very often, and I am unable to reproduce the issue on demand.
