Windows 11 OSD Task Sequence Progress hidden behind "Just a Moment"

Recommended Posts

I am deploying Windows 11 24H2 in our environment, but I have a rather annoying issue. When my OSD TS reaches the "Setup Windows and Configuration Manager" task, the PC reboots and all of the rest of the TS is hidden behind the "Just a moment" black screen. If the user is patient, the OSD completes like normal. The problem is that users are sitting down and seeing the "just a moment" screen and rebooting the PC. This causes a bunch of issues. Yes, I realize this is a user issue, but I am trying to make my life easier.

I have searched extensively on Google and keep finding people talking about adding a reboot after the "Setup Windows and Configuration Manager" step or using an unattend.xml file that skips the OOBE step. If I add a reboot into the TS I get the progress screen back, but apps that I am deploying fail to install with the 87d00269 error. This is only an issue with applications, packages install just fine. I haven't tried the unattend.xml route yet because I have been reading that this is now unsupported. Has anyone got this working reliably with a supported method? Or if the unattend.xml is the way to go, which settings do I need to apply? The articles I have found are all for Windows 10 and have very different recommendations.

I am running MECM 2409, Windows ADK 10.1.26100.2454, Client 5.00.9123.1011

Thanks for your help

I asked copilot and it gave me this response, try it !, if it works then you can just apply the registry key via a step in the task sequence just before it normally shows up

  1. Open Registry Editor:

    • Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
  2. Navigate to the following path:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE
    
  3. Create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value:

    • Name it SkipMachineOOBE.
    • Set its value to 1.
  4. Create another DWORD (32-bit) Value:

    • Name it SkipUserOOBE.
    • Set its value to 1.

These changes should bypass the "Just a moment" screen during the OSD process.
