By following these steps, you can reset the OOBE process in Windows 11 using the Command Prompt or Sysprep method. This can help resolve issues with the setup process and ensure that your system is properly configured.

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v SkipMachineOOBE /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

The first command ( oobe\msoobe /r ) essentially restarts the OOBE. The additional /o in the second command might be optional depending on your specific needs or version of Windows.

start ms-settings:reset

In the Command Prompt, type the following command and press Enter:

| Scenario | Command(s) | |----------|-------------| | Skip OOBE during setup | reg add HKLM\...\OOBE /v SkipMachineOOBE /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f | | Full OOBE reset (sysprep) | sysprep /generalize /shutdown /oobe | | Kill stuck OOBE process | taskkill /f /im oobe.exe | | Clean OOBE registry flags | reg delete commands from Method 4 |

This bypasses OOBE on next boot. Remove SkipMachineOOBE later if you want OOBE again.

shutdown /r /t 0
