Was there a change in the autounattend?

I notice that after enabling the Administrator account I am still being asked to create an account during the installation process, but this did not happen in previous builds it only started happening after the recent build (1.4.1.5741).

Comparing an old autounattend file to the current one I notice the following section appears to be now missing,
Code: 
<LocalAccounts>
    <LocalAccount wcm:action="add">
        <Group>Administrators</Group>
        <Name>Administrator</Name>
        <Password>
            <PlainText>false</PlainText>
            <Value></Value>
        </Password>
    </LocalAccount>
</LocalAccounts>
 
After addHave you changed "Skip Welcome Center (Skip UserOOBE)" after adding an account, to true?
 
@impatientllama, thanks for reporting, please attach your preset (not the autounattend.xml, the preset from the tool Source page that created that) so that I can confirm and fix the issue.
Make sure no passwords or private info is in the XML.

@Kasual,
I left it at the default, which is blank? I used the auto-fill button to enable the Admin account.

When the default value isn't changed, it asks for an user name, no matter if you add one or more user account.
If you try and experience the same behavior as you mentioned, in an older version, then there was an issue, but i don't remember to have seen that behavior.
 
@impatientllama ok I have checked your preset.
Administrator account was properly created, but it wasn't logged on, as selected. And you are right, that difference from before, which was intentionally removed, actually autologs it on even if not selected.
I'll add some changes if autologon is not selected, but Skip Local Users is as in your example.
Btw you can always explicitly enable Autologon.
Shows Windows unattended flaws, but the point of the tool is to make it easier so thanks :)

Done in 5790, if using English Administrator, for others please select autologon option, let me know if it's not as expected. Thanks.
