Win11 24H2 sysprep OOBE can't Suppress "Who's going to use this Device?" screen.

Question

I am updating our "golden image" with 24H2. I created the image. Used Sysprep to generalize it (with my unattend file as normal) but for some reason the OOBE screen still shows the "Who's going to use this Device" screen. everything else is working fine but that.

I have the following in my xml and i think the "HideLocalAccountScreen" setting is what controls that. but its not working on 24H2.

            <OOBE>
                <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage>
                <HideLocalAccountScreen>true</HideLocalAccountScreen>
                <HideOEMRegistrationScreen>true</HideOEMRegistrationScreen>
                <HideOnlineAccountScreens>true</HideOnlineAccountScreens>
                <HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>true</HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>
                <ProtectYourPC>2</ProtectYourPC>
            </OOBE>

Answer 1

Hello,

Review Unattend.xml Settings:

Ensure that your unattend.xml file includes the necessary settings to bypass the OOBE screens. Specifically, check the <OOBE> section for the following settings:

<OOBE>

<HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage>

<HideOEMRegistrationScreen>true</HideOEMRegistrationScreen>

<HideOnlineAccountScreens>true</HideOnlineAccountScreens>

<HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>true</HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>

<ProtectYourPC>1</ProtectYourPC>

<SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE>

<SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE>

</OOBE>

The value for HideOnlineAccountScreens should be set to true to bypass the account setup screens.

Agree with the previous poster. I typically have the following in the OOBE section for sysprep:

        <OOBE>

            <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage>

            <HideLocalAccountScreen>true</HideLocalAccountScreen>

            <HideOEMRegistrationScreen>true</HideOEMRegistrationScreen>

            <HideOnlineAccountScreens>true</HideOnlineAccountScreens>

            <HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>true</HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>

            <ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC>

            <UnattendEnableRetailDemo>false</UnattendEnableRetailDemo>

            <SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE>

            <SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE>

        </OOBE>
