Removing Windows Hello
When I ran my first OOBE test my user was prompted with the requirement to setup Windows Hello. I want to turn this off entirely so I found going to Intune > Devices > Enrollment > Windows Hello for Business and set Configure Windows Hello for Business to Disabled and clicked Save.
Removing 365 Copilot Pin Prompt
Another thing I noticed on the last OOBE test was a prompt asking the user to pin Microsoft 365 Copilot to their taskbar. I do not want users to have to worry about this so I looked into how to disable it in the portal.
Turns out you can go to Microsoft 365 > Copilot > Settings > User Access and set Pin Microsoft 365 Copilot App to the Windows Taskbar setting to Do Not Pin and click save.
While I was in here I also went through and disabled Copilot across most of the tenant settings.
Testing Setup
Now comes the time to reboot/startup the VM and see if the changes too effect. I started it up and instead of the initial questions where setup asks me to choose a region and language, it instead immediately asked me to sign in with a Microsoft account. Here this should let my user log in with their corporate account that was made for them.
After logging in I got a screen that says "Please wait while we set up your device..."
Once set up completed it logged me into my account and showed me the desktop. I was not prompted with any Windows Hello or 365 Copilot questions.
I checked settings and it shows I'm logged in with my corporate account and the name scheme took effect labeling the device as [Serial Number]-W. It looks like the initial run was successful. Next I want to test installing apps on the device.
