Hello @silentirk,

To better reproduce the environment and the issue, can you please give the values of the configs you used for the plugin? https://cloudbase-init.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins.html#bcd-config-main

Thank you.

I don't add set_unique_boot_disk_id (bool: False, i think there's an error in the docs, as it seems to be True by default, if i read source code correctly) or bcd_enable_auto_recovery (bool: False) to my config.

Thank you, @silentirk. We could reproduce the issue locally, we will provide a fix as soon as possible.
The issue is related to the difference in how the wmi project and the newer PyMI project (that replaced WMI) handles WMI return values.
