HideWirelessSetupInOOBE

HideWirelessSetupInOOBE specifies whether to hide the Network screen that appears during Windows Welcome.

During Windows Welcome, the Network screen prompts the end user to connect to a network when both of the following conditions are met:

  • HideWirelessSetupInOOBE is not set to true.

  • Windows is unable to determine that the computer is connected to the internet, whether because it's not connected to any network or because the connected network is configured in a way that prevents Windows from determining that the computer is connected to the internet.

Note

Despite the name, the Network page will be skipped if the computer has a wired connection to the internet.

Values

true

Hides the Network screen during Windows Welcome.
