You may all know installing Windows 11 is a quick procedure, but what if it takes over 15 hours? That's exactly what one user observed while deploying the current 23H2 version via Autopilot, causing curiosity and anxiety within the Windows community.
Autopilot, Microsoft's self-deploying mode for seamless Windows installations, promises efficiency and minimal user involvement. However, this recent user testimonial shows a challenge that we didn't see coming: an installation that lasted longer than an international flight.
Despite the absence of major difficulties, the installation took no less than 15 hours. What followed was a digital journey through a maze of upgrades: 7 Core Updates, 28 Store app updates, and 35 driver installs.
However, the plot developed as the saga progressed. Even after the installation was completed, a five-hour update quest began, leaving the user in search of the Notepad and other missing bits. Surprisingly, Microsoft's decision not to upgrade the OS image with the most recent program versions contributed to the delay, which many in the community found unacceptable.
While some think that this option appeals to customers who prefer to keep earlier software versions after installation, others question the reason for the wait. Could it be a strategic decision or a logistical challenge on Microsoft's part?
As the community speculates, one thing is clear: the path to a flawless Windows 11 installation via Autopilot has its twists and turns, reminding us that even in today's world, patience remains a virtue.
