In Windows 10, what is Out Of Box Experience (OOBE)?

What is OOBEE?
Out-of-box experience (OOBE pronounced oo-bee) is the experience a consumer (or user) has when preparing to first use a new product. In relation to computing, this includes the setup process of installing and/or performing initial configuration of a piece of hardware or software on a computer. This generally follows the point-of-sale experience or the interaction experience of an expert user. (source Wikipedia: Out-of-box experience - Wikipedia)

Basically - all it is, is the 'script' that runs and configures everything when you first turn on a fresh install of windows 10.

Those updates you've listed, effectively just add more config steps to those initial scripts that are run.

To summarise - if you're running windows 10 now, and are happy. Don't worry about them!

About the Out-of-Box-Experience (OoBE) ...

...to be clear, that initial OS\setup of a newly purchased machine, I'm told, is called the OoBE. That said, is the OoBE the actual OS, or is it some sort of 'Virtual Machine'? Something like running an OS in/on VmWare? I cannot stabilize Win-11 from the OoBE or from the OEM's factory image, which the OEM's tech-support, at least one, says are identical.

Feedback please ...
