I would love to perform this step automatically – but the unattended setup process does not provide a hook to run code once the Windows image has been copied to the target drive, i.e. at the end of the PE stage before the first reboot. This is also the reason why DisableDefender.vbs needs to run during the imaging operation, when it would be much easier to run that script afterwards. |

Request:
Please add an option in the unattend-generator website to automatically remove 8.3 file names for the selected drive (or C: drive by default) as part of the unattended setup process, without requiring users to manually run
setup.exe /Unattend:notautounattend.xmlas described on your documentation site.Background
Currently, your documentation at schneegans.de/windows/no-8.3/#setup describes a safe way to remove 8.3 file names during Windows Setup by using a custom answer file (
notautounattend.xml) and running:This method prevents Windows Setup from running the answer file automatically and this requires manual intervention
Adding this option would let the generated autounattend run automatically and clean up the unwanted dot file names without any extra manual steps.
Proposed Enhancement
UI Option:
Add a checkbox or toggle to the generator website:
