```

After registration, deploy a fresh Pro VM with an explicit password and do not interact with the console during first boot. Wait for Sysprep/OOBE and the delayed CloudStack password service. Validate Windows build 19045, QEMU Guest Agent, the password service and its delayed start, WinRM disabled, RDP on TCP 3389, the exact Administrator credential, reboot persistence, and removal of staging/unattend files.

The 2026-08-12 acceptance test passed these checks. The image contained no hibernation file or page file. DISM reported only one reclaimable package, so no further Windows components were removed for size reduction.
