W11 unatended install stalled/stopped

Post by AndyCot »

I am trying to install Windows 11 using an unattended install with the "--tpm-type 2.0" option and it looks like it has stalled with a blank (dark purple/bluish) screen. It's been like this for the last 20 minutes and will check it after lunch to see if it has progressed any.

Should W11 with "--tpm-type 2.0" install using an unattended install?

Finally after about 5 goes I have been able to manually install Windows 11.

Looks like you need to get the options just right to install W11 and if you are out on one of the options it will not work. Sorry, but free Oracle support is not my job.

From the 7.0 beta announcement, documentation for 7.0 is not complete yet.

I am not going to spend my time figuring out which combination of options are causing the issue.

If you do not want reports of issues then as you have requested I will now stop reporting issues I have found.

BETA testing of open-source projects is a hobby, but it's a two-way street. On one hand I do this job for free, on the other hand I enjoy using better-quality open-source software all around, be it Linux, LibreOffice, VirtualBox or other software.

as for Windows 11, I have the USB stick, but not the DVD ISO file.
