Hi,

Impacted recently with the image deployment it took forever to complete the OOBE as it stuck at getting ready or preparing your computer. The image is generalized and captured properly with Sysprep and the deployed machine fulfills the Windows 11 requirements, disk has been checked to inconsistencies BIOS /UEFI settings are all correct. The logs under Panther didn't indicate anything suspicious either.

Anyone else has experienced the same recently, something has changed? Any ideas?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    1,Are you using configuration manager to deploy Windows 11? If yes, you can try to add a reboot step after the "Setup Windows and Configuration Manager" step and set to reboot into OS.

    2,You can also try to apply an Unattend.xml file to skip OOBE during a task sequence. For more information, please refer to:

    USE UNATTEND.XML TO SKIP WINDOWS 10 OOBE DURING AN SCCM TASK SEQUENCE

    Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

    Best regards,

    Simon
