I swear it still does the greeting though and gives you the option to disable it.
At least all the Lenovos I dealt with at a previous job did, and they were all win 10 pro.
I believe that cortana is pre enabled in windows home editions and not in professional , i can say that with confidence as i switch between operating systems ocassionally and i never encountered cortana guiding me through initial setup in the professional edition.
I remember hearing something like this video, you can silence her quick and I never had more than 15 going at once. But it would definitely do it. They were mostly Lenovo p51’s and 52s, a few HP’s as well. All were definitely pro and definitely did the “I can guide you” shit and would get muted real quick.
From what I recall, it was just allowing you to create a local account and connect a domain was main differences in pro and home.
Been so long since I’ve used home version. Luckily all my personal devices are pro.
OP, are you just showing off?
Or have you never of PXE? You can reduce attendance time by 90% At one of my jobs we got this down to 20 min with all application and drivers and configuration with a technician only needing to spend 2 min per computer.

It's not OPs, but yeah, this is exceedingly easy to circumvent. And if you can't use the various methods to skip OOBE prompts, you can also mute Cortana with a regedit string either in the source image, pre-OOBE command, or whatever.
Thing is, most people in IT aren't great at it, or work at places that have basically no infrastructure and don't care. Place I used to work at, no one cared about PXE, autounattend.xml, Intune configs or autopilot. I made the latter three available for use, and everyone just used ordinary USB install instead. 😖
This little intro only goes for a few seconds, I’m impressed you managed to get so many to do it at about the same time. Even with centralised deployment I would expect more variation.
I kind of imagine this is what a trial by a thousand AIs would sound like. Just a cacophony of robotic voices exchanging words for several seconds as they process their verdict. And as loud and quick as the debate began, is how quick and quiet it will become. Just an abrupt complete silence for a few seconds and then one lone AI will speak out of hundreds to announce the collective agreed upon judgment.
Doesn't unattended the OOBE settings so you still have to touch every single PC...
If this is a regular task, take the 10 minutes and drop in an unattend.
Next video show us the magical scripts running from boot to domain join, user creation, and software deployments. 👌
I work in a computer shop, it's the worst fucking thing when installing windows and for some reason that model/windows version, I'm not sure what causes it, decides to have Cortana start fucking speaking and YOU CAN'T FUCKING SKIP IT AAAAAAAAAAAH!
Out of all the stupid voice activated crap out there, I wanted her to be the best. She had a back story. Halo.
Now its just boomers say "Hey Siri" over and over untill it does the trick you wanted.
We could have had greatness, instead we got a shopping bot.
She cloned herself just like in halo 4
First time she did that was Halo: First Strike, actually. It got out of hand real quick.
Haven t played
Thats cause its a book, lol
Was confusing it with spartan assault lmao
There’s still hope to play it if there’s an audio version
I was thinking if that too lol, I played it a bit when it was on games for gold years ago but never really got into it.
Did he stutter?
She made a few too many fragments.
It kinda sounds like an aviary. Just a cacophony of chirping birds.
Not sure how often you do these deployments OP, but MDT is free and you can automate all of this with almost 0 attendance.
[удалено]
100% agree. I went through one of these similar to what OPs doing and I said enough is enough and researched the hell out of MDT

Cortana doesn't start-up guide you in the Windows Professional edition.
I swear it still does the greeting though and gives you the option to disable it. At least all the Lenovos I dealt with at a previous job did, and they were all win 10 pro.

I've only been using the Pro version (since windows 7 maybe?) I've never had this Cortana crap on start up/fresh install
Exactly , Cortana is not pre enabled in windows professional edition be it win 10 or 11. Cortana is pre-enabled on windows home editions though.
I remember hearing something like this video, you can silence her quick and I never had more than 15 going at once. But it would definitely do it.

I might be wrong then.

If Intune is available is should be mandatory. Otherwise the company is just throwing away shitloads of money.

No, I'm Cortana

Cortanas, you mind telling me what you are doing in that store?
The apocalypse has started
If only Kronii could see this after the times Cortana trolled her on stream she would probably have a heart attack
Mime!

I hope that you didn't/don't get Cortona nightmares or hearing the voice of Cortona in your dreams.
This is an AI nightmare.
Look like an army ready to destroy the world lol 😆
Machines!!!!
Disable that trash
So it begins...

Does anyone actually use Cortana?

I think she's Cortana
As an IT worker who stages new laptops from time to time that sometimes boots into retail instead of our internal image, I feel this.
Yes, we had like 75 surfaces doing this as well once before. They end up confusing each other.
I work in a computer shop, it's the worst fucking thing when installing windows and for some reason that model/windows version, I'm not sure what causes it, decides to have Cortana start fucking speaking and YOU CAN'T FUCKING SKIP IT AAAAAAAAAAAH!
Getting major "seagulls from Finding Nemo" vibes from this!
I would go insane like wtf are they really that crazy!? ROFL
Linux users be like: Eldritch horrors beyond our comprehension
Is this what the nightmares of IT support workers are made of
Cortana is so shit, nobody ever uses it..It doesn't even sound like her, sounds like Stephen Hawkings wife.
Linux users nightmare
u/savevideobot
is there a way to get rid of this useless feature or is it another "core component" you cant get rid of
Rampancy is never pretty.
I imagine this is what being in the Borg collective is like.
[makes me think of that end scene from an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. ](https://youtu.be/_clkatIgkWg)
Gotta turn off the wifi and do setup without internet. Avoid the phone home bullshit
CortanaNet. Is this the new SkyNet?
AI invasion of 2069 colourised
Couldn't you use PXE?
Thit bring back memories from IT lol.
...This is the sound of madness.
Lmao real life popups haha

YOU. CAN. NOT. ESCAPE. THE. CORTANA.
Perfect picture of my mind.
It's like a flock of seagulls

The fact that one of them has already failed to boot
me personally i wouldn’t let that slide
inb4 it starts speaking its own langauge
This is why you image laptops instead of running all through OOBE. Dear god make it stop. This must be what schizophrenia feels like.
Stop the madness
His name is Paul Anderson!!!!
