Have tried the below with Windows 10 1809 . Worked without any issues.
First Restart in WinPE.
Apply GPT Disk – Very important if your using Bit locker. As you may face issues with Bit locker on MBR disks. if bit locker has to work well in your environment. make sure its Partitioned based on UEFI.
Add the Operating System Image from Volume Licensing. We have zero customization on Wim. So that we can use different versions of windows easily.

<HideLocalAccountScreen>true</HideLocalAccountScreen>
