Provisioning on first boot does not skip initial setup

Question

Hi,I applied a provisioning package created with Windows Configuration Manager on the "Welcome" screen, but as I proceeded with the setup, I was asked to log in to my Microsoft account. Various websites say that it can be avoided. Please let me know how I can avoid the initial setup.The provisioning package consists of two things: local account creation and start layout adaptation. thank you
