Having problems with installation (Windows 11 Home)

Environment:
1) I'm editing windows 11 home v22000.282 tr x64 downloaded from uupdump and edited with ntlite v2.3.0.8407 (preset is attached)
2) Creating VM on virtual box with 8gb ram and 6 cpu cores and 80gb storage

Problem: My every 4/6 installs are stuck. Here is when its happening;
My installation is getting stuck randomly at these places (After resetting VM its keeps going from where it was)
1) Right after first restart before starting oobe and setupcomplete
2) Right after oobeandsetupcomplete before asking local username
3) Right after typing local username

Possible causes:
1) Teams setup is downloading and installing things and its making windows wait and get stuck because i do online installs at fixed bandwith of 50-100kb for tests. But also happened at offline installs too so idk. a way to block teams on online installs nuhi would be great.

2) It may be because of these features i started enabling today. But i don't think so.
subsystem for linux
virtual machine platform
windows hypervisor platform

Screenshots:
1) After typing username at local account creation screen, that circle is not moving. its stuck like this forever. untill i restart by force. (Happens both on online and offline installation)

2) Right after this process, its stuck like this before restart (2nd pic), and sometimes its stuck after restart (3rd pic)

I am like literally WTF is happening.

Stuck or really slow? Check on the host with Resource Monitor if there's still network activity.

you are right i can do that, if its stuck after local account creation at"checking updates"
but network activity monitoring will not help if its stuck even before oobe
this is going to be a long night, i will make tons of installs to test every freaking thing.
-
also since i recently started enabling 3 new features for android support. i am suspicious about them too. i am not sure about teams, since it happens also at offline install.
-
also i should mention that. its never stuck on vanilla iso, online or offline. so i am sure its about my iso

You're right, on pic #2 Windows is supposed to be installing devices. This is with VirtualBox 6.1.28 (not .26)?
 
Nuhi will share pre-releases to users who reported bugs.
Can't argue - but testing results which nuhi offer pre-releases and feed-back before official releases to the public seems unsual posting independently if not already posted in an ongoing post nuhi try to solve. I could be wrong and rest my case.

its .26 because .28 has so much bugs i can't even start vm 2nd time for win11. it brokes completely after first run.

edit: i also enabled those 3 features on host machine maybe thats the problem but i dont think so

alpha releases support dev versions of win10 and win11, and for some fixes to be tested and confirmed so it can be posted for people like you and me to use without problems. so you should be thankfull. nuhi can't test every single combination. bugs can only be corrected if they are discovered. also generally between 2 ntlite versions i can see changelog, i don't think my problem is about ntlite version differances, if it was i would contact nuhi directly. i am not slowing nuhi in any way.

another stupid thing about teams is that, its not even present in the iso before installation. not in registery, not in files. its completely cloud based coming like a trojan while checking updates, in first contact to internet.
 
I will just reinstall completely my real system. then install virtualbox to test again probably with .28 if it lets me multiple times.
 
Updated chat/teams remover and widgets remover script on windows 11 thread. after getting this problem my hatred for them grow....

i tested again on offline installation, (6 installs) it happened only once... i don't have anything to say but

my final thought is, if it is random then it is not a bug. going to stick with offline installs. but if anyone else experience same thing please write here with your preset so we can relook into it. only possible thing it can be is enabled features i guess.

idk but something about virtualization and linux makes me think
 
its windows hypervisor platform, i enabled them 3 for android app support, maybe hypervisor platform was overkill but i don't want to bother with errors because a feature is missing on my computer in the future. if you know anything about it please let me know (like it is %100 unnecessary etc)
 
I don't know why its freezing on intel i9 9750 cpu with samsung evo plus nvime ssd and 32gbram but
to overcome it you can just pause VM and unpause it. instead of resetting.
 
Hyper-V is required for Android apps and WSL, you just need to switch to Pro.
Are you sure? i don't think you need hyperV for android apps? I'm on home edition, on beta channel. and i have amazon appstore? i will try to sideload something. i will update thread with my result

Works perfectly, easly with adb.exe. No problems no errors. So hyperV is not needed.

I'm going to test those 3 features now. Edit: TESTED
virtual machine platform -NEEDED
subsystem for linux -NOT NEEDED
windows hypervisor platform -NOT NEEDED
hyper-v not needed since i'm on windows 11 HOME not PRO

Also lots of people think u need to download a distro completely etc to use android apps. NOPE. Virtual Machine Platform Is Enough.

I'm trying to find a way to remove amazon apple store now. I don't want a region locked software. I can sideload. There will be some tools like drag and drop to install apks in the future i believe. because its so easy only 2 steps

adb connect "ipaddress"
adb install "apkfile"

Assuming you have enabled feature "VirtualMachinePlatform" and installed android subsystem app

WSL runs inside Hyper-V, it's not a native app. Just a canned version of Ubuntu. You can pick a different Linux distro from the Store for Hyper-V. While you have it obviously running, I'm saying the retail Home wouldn't have these features.
