Hey guys! MODWIN has been updated to V6.

The main focus for this update was to provide Unattended installation support. MODWIN provides support by adding an unattend file to your iso. The unattend file does not include system language options due to languages not being changeable. What language you select during media creation is what you are stuck with, so the default answer file in MODWIN works on all languages of Windows despite there being some English language options in the script. These options cannot be removed either, or the unattend file will not work right and halt the setup midway through.

I included some sources below, but a TLDR is I made a script that combines some of the gist code listed below and some of the windowsafg code and some code I added. This script will automatically install Windows for us without a touch. (English only is without a touch, all other versions require a single click unfortunately). The auto install script automatically includes a TPM fix, too, for those that need.

Here is a video showing the new unattend option. Only works with Windows 10 and 11 home and pro. You can select any username and password. It also shows the autounattend file working on various international distros.

If you want to turn off the auto-login feature, after Windows has installed, open CMD and run this code:
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AutoAdminLogon /f

I ran these steps on a cheapo laptop that clearly does not meet Win 11 requirements, and was able to install Windows 11 successfully without any user intervention.

This gist daisy chains the answer file to a tpm bypass script if you ever wondered how to do that
