Hello,

When doing an unattended install how do I stop the message from appearing that states a restart will occur in 10 seconds.

Thanks

When performing an unattended installation of Windows, you can prevent the message that states a restart will occur in 10 seconds from appearing by modifying the settings in your answer file. Here's how you can achieve that:

1. Open your answer file in a text editor, such as Notepad.
2. Locate the [specialize] section in the answer file.
3. Add the following setting under the [specialize] section:

   Components ComputerName

   This setting will prevent the restart message from displaying.
4. Save the changes to the answer file. By including the "Components" and "ComputerName" settings under the [specialize] section, you are essentially instructing the installation process to ignore the display of a countdown message before restarting. This will allow the installation to proceed silently without user intervention. After modifying your answer file, you can use it during an unattended installation by supplying it to Windows Setup. Make sure to test the modified answer file thoroughly before using it in a production environment to ensure it meets your specific requirements.
