Autopilot White Glove at login screen?
We're still early in our use of Autopilot, and I was running a test using White Glove. I started the provisioning process, and checked in on it a couple of times. The previous time I checked it was still installing applications, but, when I checked in next, oddly I ended up at a Windows login screen.
The first time this happened I thought I had flaked and not entered the White Glove process, so I logged in with my user account. It seemed to continue the process, and eventually I was at the green screen with the 'Reseal' button.
After trying a few things, I found that if the system has 1909 on it, everything proceeds as expected. But if I have 2004, 20H2, or 21H1 installed, this odd behavior occurs.
So far, I'm only aware of this happening on a test Surface Pro 4. I'll be pulling another device soon to see if I get the same results there.

- Thanks for the input.
I'm trying to validate what I've found, but it seems to be two scripts I was using to get an Always On VPN Device Tunnel installed and functional, by temporarily upgrading from Pro to Enterprise, and then going back to Pro to complete activation. I found these on Richard Hicks' site. Check your security baselines and make sure they are assigned to users and not to device groups. Security baselines tend to cause a reboot during autopilot/ESP when assigned to device groups.
Components that might trigger a reboot when assigned to a device:
Windows 10 Security Baseline
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint baseline
Endpoint security – Device control
For verification you can consult eventvwr in the System – Windows log and check for eventid 1074 regarding a restart during autopilot. (The process CloudExpierienceHostbroker.exe has initiated the restart to reconfigure the operating system.)- That's really odd.. I never have seen that behaviour, only a red screen 🙂 .. You should try excluding the apps. Just change most of them to not required.
