We have Windows Autopilot configured and working but only with one application being installed. I was told that the applications need to be all the same type in order for the applications to install correctly. Is this true?
Also, what is the average time for Autopilot to finish setting up the machine?
When I say type I mean either line-of-business, Win32, etc.

Agree with Hung, this is the perfect answer, also is not recommended to add Office apps in the Autopilot phase because will take a lot of time.

The guidance with installing apps is related to Win32 apps. If you want to install Win32 apps, use either the "Windows MSI line-of-business app" type or "Windows app (Win32)" type, but avoid using both. The main reason is that those two types are processed in parallel, and MSIs can conflict with each other. As for average time, there are so many factors involved, like the number of apps, the sizes of apps, the connection speed, the CDN load, the temperature in Texas, etc.
