Dedoimedo: Unattended Windows installations bring peace and quiet

  • Over time, Microsoft Windows has steadily become more annoying, less fun. Windows 11 is the epitome of this sad trend, exhibiting tons of smartphone-like "experiences" that completely ruin the very idea of what the desktop ought to be. You can work around many of these nonsense features, but it takes time and patience.

    In the past couple of years, I've written tons of tutorials on how to tame this unruly beast, how to make Windows 11 less stupid. All of these articles were made for the typical desktop use, with interactive changes via the Settings, Control Panel, services and some registry. As it turns out, there's a superior way. You can actually install your Windows "enterprise style", in an unattended mode, which lets you clean and prune about 90% of useless garbage without any interaction whatsoever. Let me show you how you can accomplish this.

    One moment, please...

    The Unattend Generator is a beautiful website that lets you create your own XML. You answer questions in a human format, e.g.: username, system name, which apps you want or not, whether to configure Wi-Fi, and then some, and from these questions, from this online form, the site will create the autounattend.xml file for you. It can also wrap the file into an ISO archive, so you can use it with other products.

  • […] Site looks good, also bit like ChatGPT made it ?

It's great to see you exploring different resources for Windows installations. If you have any specific questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
