When trying to create Technician Rescue Media USB stick;
"Failed to generate WINPE WIM: WIM could not be mounted"

Third-party anti-virus is a likely culprit for the missing privilege error messages that appear in that log. Rescue Media Builder runs with elevated privileges, so that’s not accurate, but AV sometimes interferes with this type of thing since building Rescue Media involves working with files that can be used for malicious purposes, such as those that can alter the Windows bootloader or the disk’s master boot record.
