Sysprep Windows 11 24H2 so that local account creation is skipped

Hello

I have created an local account to Windows 11 24H2 installation and I want to run Sysprep so that Windows won't ask to create a new account. My OOBE settins are

 

<OOBE>

<HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage>

<HideOEMRegistrationScreen>true</HideOEMRegistrationScreen>

<HideOnlineAccountScreens>true</HideOnlineAccountScreens>

<HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>true</HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>

<HideLocalAccountScreen>true</HideLocalAccountScreen>

<ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC>

</OOBE>

 

Windows System Image Manager reports that settings SkipUserOOBE and SkipMacineOOBE are deprecated.

Setting HideLocalAccountScreen applies only to the Windows Server editions  according this documentation. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/customize/desktop/unattend/microsoft-windows-shell-setup-oobe-hidelocalaccountscreen

How can i skipt the administrator account creation during OOBE?

    Warning! Don't use the SkipMachineOOBE setting to automate OOBE. Instead, use the above unattend settings.
