Did you see any error messages? If so, please post it. Thanks.

Well, that's the problem - I did not see anything - the output looks like everything's fine - just like if I try to change hostname on Win7 (where this function works exactly as expected).
I tryining this on Windows 10 Edu 64bit.
Well, don't know where is the problem. Generally speaking, should the support for Win 10 hostname change be OK? In other words - does this feature works well to you?
Actually I do not have Win10 here, so I can not make sure if it works or not. I will try to find one and test it. Thanks for your report.
Steven
Could you please give Clonezilla live >= 2.5.5-10 a try?

I have tested in in virtual machine running Win10 and it worked here.
Steven
Well, sorry to tell, but it still doesn't work to me. What change did you made in 2.5.5-10? What about earlier version - does it work in virtual machine to you?
OK, please try Clonezilla live 2.5.5-12 again:

This version should be better. I have tested many times here and it worked everytime for my Win10 virtual machine, Win7, and WinXP.
Please let us know the results.
Steven
BTW, forgot to mention, you have to make sure your MS Windows is completely shutted down. The default mode for MS Windows 10 to shutdown is actually to hibernate. Therefore before you take an image, please run:
shutdown /s /t 0
to force MS Windows 10 to shutdown.
This will allow Clonezilla to be able to mount the file system and change the registry for host name.

Sorry I didn't response for a long time - holiday at work. I know about the Win10 proper shutdown issue. I tested newest testing version (2.5.5-19) and it works OK now. Thank you very much for your work - really appreciate it.
OK, great. Thanks for your confirmation.
