Bypassing OOBE with registry causes printer errors
This is all Windows 10 21H2 based image
Not sure if anyone else has seen this. I'm creating images on a test VM. The images themselves are fine, all setting and software needed are installed and the image capture works as well. I started to notice a problem when after imaging and bypassing the OOBE with a reg edit. Here's the steps I use:
1. image system with sysprepped image (no issues)
2. reboot system and allow it install initial drivers (no issues)
3. on first OOBE screen hit shift+ctrl+F3 and enter audit mode (no issues)
4. merge the regedit file: (no errors reported by the merge) - keys below
5. reboot system (no issues)Code:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup] "OOBEInProgress"=dword:00000000 "SetupPhase"=dword:00000000 "SetupType"=dword:00000000 "SystemSetupInProgress"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Status] "AuditBoot"=dword:00000000
6. login with pre-created user account (user is in admin group and no issues)
7. add printer (doesn't matter if local or network - printer is installed with no error or warning)
8. print test page - this is where the failure happens I get error 0x00000bbb
9. the only way to fix this error is a refresh install of windows (reinstall OS and keep all files and software)
If I actually go through the OOBE and create a temp user and then logout and login as pre-created user, add printer and print test page it works fine. I'm just wondering what might be getting issed durning the OOBE step.
If I left out any info let me know and I'll try to add some more.
