Is this a new Windows 11 OOBE?

Question

I installed Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 online and saw an unfamiliar OOBE screen. It’s extremely slow even with 1 Gbps internet. Is it downloading updates or extra software?&nbsp;

Based on recent reports from March 2026, Microsoft is indeed rolling out a significantly updated Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) for Windows 11.

izannki · Answer

The unfamiliar OOBE (Out-of-Box Experience) screen you're seeing is likely due to the new Windows 11 setup process, which includes a feature called the "Setup Experience" or "Windows Setup Experience." This feature is designed to provide a more streamlined and user-friendly setup process.

Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 is a locked-down, long-term servicing channel (LTSC) version, which means it's designed for industrial, commercial, or IoT use cases where security and stability are paramount. As a result, the installation process involves a more comprehensive setup and configuration.
