HideUIInOOBE

Note   Starting with Windows 10, version 1703, this setting can no longer be used in provisioning packages. For more information on changes to the Windows Provisioning Framework, see Windows Provisioning Framework. This setting may have a Configuration Service Provider (CSP) equivalent that can be used instead. To determine if a CSP for this setting exists, see the description below.

 

HideUIInOOBE hides mobile broadband devices or networks in OOBE. You can use this setting if you have a mobile device with embedded mobile broadband that’s sold with a deactivated mobile operator SIM. In this case, the mobile operator requires the mobile broadband device to be hidden in OOBE because SIM activation requires use of a mobile operator account experience app or a web browser, which are not supported in OOBE.
