[SOLVED] [EX-100- v1.9.1.0] [RS3 release 16299.15 ] "Something Went Wrong" during setup after privacy settings, won't finish

The install gets this error when I first reboot to where Cortana would normally start talking, she even says outloud  "Something went wrong but you can try again", but I get the option to skip.

I setup my user name and password, my hint, get the same message, but can choose to skip.  I can confirm the user name and appropriate C:\users directory is being created.

Then I choose my privacy settings, and on the top right it say services. It sits for a while, then it says "Something Went Wrong, but you can try again."  This time I get no option to skip, trying again never works, settings different privacy setttings doesn't work.  The setup never finishes, if I reboot I eventually end up in the same setup screen (where it will tell me to try again if I try to create the same user name)

Hello,

I'm testing your wccf at the moment ... so I will let you know in few minutes.

Thanks.

So, I checked your wccf, and it seems that you removed "Modern UI Apps - Cortana (OOBE)" ... so it should be the problem.

Yes I confirm the error comes from "Modern UI Apps - Cortana (OOBE)" ... so select it to remove only if you use an unattended file otherwise keep it to avoid trouble.

Have a nice day !

Thank you very much, will rebuild and test now.

This was the problem, thank you!

Thank you very much for the report

For the record, I will change the name of the component in the next build (v1.9.2.0) it will be "Modern UI Apps - OOBE (Cortana)" ... just for information

I just discovered this same problem myself and happy to see that this is a known problem.

I have one question though: I don't like having Cortana show up during the OOBE stage and I'm wondering if it will be possible to block Cortana on Fall Creators in a future version of WinReducer? If so, is there a timeframe for this update?

SOLVED in v1.9.2.0 !

Hello guys, and Welcome XJDHDR

I will add a fix in v1.9.2.0 (available Monday 30 October 2017), which will solve this error. So you will be able to remove this component and totally hide Cortana during OOBE without the "Somenthing Went Wrong" error bug

Thank you very much Winterstorm.

Hello,

I was tired yesterday

So I forgot to mention that you have multiple choice to skip Cortana (in OOBE) using WinReducer :
- by physically removing it : Check to remove "Modern UI Apps - OOBE (Cortana)" (since v1.9.2.0)
- by just hiding it (so without removing it) : check "Unattended - Hide Cortana Setup"

I wish you to have a nice day !
