as shown in the screenshot below
There are a few solutions to this problem, but basically all involve the same thing, make sure that the task sequence that ‘answers’ your UEFI hardware, contains a 64 bit boot image as shown below
In general, the task sequence that answers is the last task sequence deployed to the collection that your computer you are booting is a member of.
You can either add the computer in question (computer+mac address) to a collection that has a task sequence deployed to it with a 64bit boot image or re-deploy a task sequence with a 64 bit boot image to the collection that this computer is a member of, or change the current task sequence to use a 64 bit boot wim instead of a x86 bit boot wim.
TiP: If you cannot make a change to any of the UEFI Network deployments then another idea is to use usb or ISO based Standalone or boot media containing the 64bit boot image.
Be aware that changing the architecture of your boot wim may cause some executables to fail to run in Windows PE as the ‘subsystem’ in WinPE will have changed architecture from 32bit to 64bit. This also means that you can only install a 64 bit operating system using this boot image.
“To install Windows to an EFI-based computer, you must enable EFI mode in the computer’s firmware and boot with 64-bit pre-installation media. ” – source, Technet.
Once you’ve made the changes above, UEFI network boot a client computer again, and you should see it’s using the boot.wim file (package ID) that you attached to the task sequence, in this case it’s using a 64bit boot wim (P0100002.wim)
as you can see here…
The end result, is a working UEFI network boot !
