Hello!

So, i boot up my pc this one time when it just boot-up on OOBE (Out of the Box Experience).Idk why,i never modify anything except for this one time (app crashes).I also got another problems,My Mouse wouldn't sync on my pc screen and i keep plugging and replugging in.And,Windows would sometimes automatically update my device on boot-up or when i restart,i guess that's the reason why is that.I didn't apply any feature updates,OOBE just happens at every boot.

When i apply any updates,it wouldn't work and it would get much worse overtime.How do i turn off oobe?Thank you so much!

    1. You have the option to choose to remove everything or not.
    2. It may not, but it does fix some.
    3. You need to connect to the internet to activate automatically. If it can't, you would need to re-enter the product key. Or if you had a digital license, just enter your Microsoft account to activate.
    4. Since I haven't done a reset, I can say no.
    5. During reset, plug in your adapter. If you meant after reset, it may or may not.

    If you can't reset, you can do a reinstall to fix issues. Reinstalling fixes lots of issues, but you have to go through the OOBE even then.

    Can you try a reset after backing up all you important files? Do report back the results. :)

    Hi U. I'm Greg, an Independent Advisor.

    Here's how to exit OOBE:

    1. Type CMD in search, Run as Administrator
    2. Type the following command and press Enter key:

    sysprep /oobe /generalize

    DISCLAIMER: Running sysprep command each time resets Windows licensing state to default. So if your Windows is activated and you run this command, you’ll need to reactivate Windows after executing this command.



Once the command IS successfully executed, you’ll be out of Audit Mode

    Hello!

    Thanks for the quick reply.t seems sysprep was unavailable in cmd and that there's an oobe splash screen and then i get out of it.And It's not audit mode,it's just an oobe splash screen.

    Screenshot in cmd:

    And here's what happens in an oobe splash screen:

    It would load and after that i can get out,sometimes oobe splash screen would take a bit more longer.

    I have checked out the Post you provided but it seems that it's Windows 8 and I'm currently running Windows 10 and i'm not in audit mode.It's a oobe splash screen.

    Any other options?Thanks again!
