This command: "sysprep /generalize /shutdown /mode:vm" introduces a pop-up window that asks options which may cause confusion to the user:

@spacest,
Thank you for your feedback. We will investigate and update the thread further.
@cynthn- Could you please review this and suggest if we can get this piece of information added to the document?
@spacetest weird. I thought the Sysprep UI was being deprecated. Odd that you get the pop-up from the command line.
Can you file a PR to make the change? Otherwise, I can fix it when I get back from vacation. Thank you!
