A Sysprep option to NOT clear the event log?

[Tripredacus]

Is there a way to specify to Sysprep to NOT clear the event log when you do an Audit Sysprep? We are getting an error on the screen at a point after the Event Log is cleared and before the computer reboots.

The error is on the screen for less than a second so we can't pause it or read it real quick. Basically, Windows Defender crashes during the sysprep process. Is there another viable method, such as disabling Windows Defender before doing the sysprep? Also it would be required that Windows Defender is to be enabled after the user sets up the machine.
