Issue Validation

Open PowerShell as Administrator.

If the state is "Ready", start the task:
Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName ImageCustomizationScheduledTask | Start-ScheduledTask -
Wait for the task to reach the "Disabled" state:
# Repeat this until the task state shows 'Disabled' Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName ImageCustomizationScheduledTask
Retry the Arc Registration operation.
