    Audit Mode going into OOBE


    Hello all,

    Why is it that when I am in audit mode and I set my .theme package, I then OOBE out, and it deletes the theme that I installed? Do I need to add the theme to an unattended XML file?

    :)

    Installation of Windows 10 - Pause restart for new PC Owner

    You would need to some OEM Preinstallation Kit to do that, which normally a part of OEM Licenses.

    Another option is to just turn off the computer when it reaches OOBE or configure Audit Mode:

    How to exit System Audit Mode WITHOUT CMD or Logging in

    Hi,

    As long as the Audit Mode is not specifically told to exit, Windows stays and returns to Audit Mode even when rebooted. There is one valid method to exit Audit Mode: running the Sysprep and telling Windows to boot to OOBE/Welcome Mode. If you try to reboot
    your PC, are you getting the Sysprep dialog? Are you getting any other error messages? If so, please send us a screenshot.

    We'll keep an eye out on your response.

    Audit Mode going into OOBE

    Simply because you are doing it wrong, most probably sysprepping without a correct answer file and / or not using the /generalize switch.

    All desktop modifications and theme personalisations done in Audit Mode are copied to Default user profile and kept and carried over to all later user profiles only if you sysprep with an answer file where the CopyProfile component is set to be TRUE, and sysprep command is run with /generalize switch.

    Set CopyProfile = TRUE in answer file and use /generalize switch with sysprep command.
