How to Bypass OOBE with unattend.xml for Hyper-V?

July 16, 2025 1 answer
Asked by CuriousDuck42
I'm creating an unattend.xml file for a Windows Server 2022 Hyper-V image to get past the Out-Of-Box Experience (OOBE). I've managed to bypass all but one screen, and I'm looking for advice on what setting to add to my XML to skip this last hurdle. I've included a link to an image showing my current configuration for reference.

You should check where you've defined your language settings in the XML. There are basically two places where you need to set the regional settings. Make sure youโ€™ve got all entries covered, which usually amounts to about three in total. That could be what you're missing!

HelpfulHolly8: Here's a sample setup for the language section in your XML: en-US en-US en-US en-US en-US Make sure everything is correctly set, and see if that helps!
