It’s been some time since we’ve seen any news about Windows 10X. Microsoft released Windows 10 build 20231 to the Dev channel on October 7, bringing a couple of new features including a new screen for the out-of-box experience (OOBE) – the first-time setup process for new devices or when users clean install the OS.
It shows a fresh new interface for the OOBE and some of the options that you’ll see when setting up a Windows 10 or Windows 10X device in the future. This new screen provides users the option to choose what they intend to use their computers for, in turn customizing the setup and system settings accordingly. The feature is still in development and hence, customization is currently only limited to the OOBE in the Insider builds.
However, Twitter user Albacore has shared a video of a revamped OOBE UI itself, which has been enabled on build 20231. The new UI and overall experience bring a refresh to the now-aging setup process. The updated setup screens seem to use a white background and colorful visuals, ditching the blue background currently present.

The setup experience is reportedly being brought over from Windows 10X. With Microsoft’s latest, lightweight OS offering being repurposed for single-screen PCs, it will not be surprising to see more design elements brought to Windows 10. Some of the recent changes include the new theme-aware Start Menu and the updated iconography.
Build 20231 is part of the vNext branch, meaning that the features debuted in the Dev channel are not tied to any specific release of the OS. It will be interesting to see what other changes are made to the OOBE in future builds and when these updates will be released to the general public.
This isn’t the first Windows 10X feature to make its way to desktop, either. Just a few weeks ago, Microsoft began testing the new Windows 10X touch keyboard experience on desktop too.
Windows 10X was delayed until next year as Microsoft refocused on delivering the best Windows 10 desktop experience. When Windows 10X is ready, it’ll launch first on low-end to mid-range Windows laptops, and not dual-screen PCs. We expect more Windows 10X features and UI to make its way to Windows 10 in the coming months too.
To make these feature visible, you’ll need to enable the respective feature IDs using a tool like mach2 or Vive tool.

WHAT IS SYSPREP?
Sysprep (System Preparation) prepares a Windows installation (Windows client and Windows Server) for imaging, allowing you to capture a customized installation. Sysprep removes PC-specific information from a Windows installation, « generalizing » the installation so it can be installed on different PCs. With Sysprep you can configure the PC to boot to audit mode, where you can make additional changes or updates to your image. Or, you can configure Windows to boot to the Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE).
HOW TO RUN SYSPREP ON WINDOWS 10
Follow the steps below to generalize your image and make it ready for deployment:
1. Press Windows logo key + X at the same time. Select Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type cd WindowsSystem32Sysprep and then press Enter.
3. Next, type sysprep and then press Enter to open Sysprep GUI mode.
4. Choose the « Enter System Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) » option and tick the « Generalize » checkbox. Now either select « Shutdown » or « Reboot » option from the drop-down menu. Then click OK.
SYSPREP LIMITATIONS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Care must be taken when using Sysprep, as it has some limitations. Here are 3 major restrictions of Sysprep:
✓ On a single system image, you can run Sysprep up to 8 times. After running this tool 8 times, you must recreate your system image.
✓ Sysprep may fail if you install or update Microsoft Store apps before generalizing a system image.
✓ Users are often disappointed to find Windows 10 Sysprep fails when the « Generalize » checkbox is enabled.
