Windows Autopilot is designed to simplify all parts of the Windows device lifecycle, but there are always situations where issues may arise. When troubleshooting an issue, it is helpful to understand:

Windows Autopilot diagnostics page

On Windows 11, you can open the Autopilot diagnostic page to view additional detailed troubleshooting information about the Autopilot provisioning process. The diagnostics page can be enabled by going to the ESP profile and selecting Yes to Turn on log collection and diagnostics page for end users. Once it is enabled you can select the View Diagnostics button or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+D to access any diagnostic information. The diagnostics page is currently supported for commercial OOBE, and Autopilot user-driven mode.

Windows Autopilot flow

Whether you're performing user-driven or self-deploying device deployments, the troubleshooting process is about the same. It's useful to understand the flow for a specific device:

  1. A network connection is established. The connection can be a wireless (Wi-fi) or wired (Ethernet) connection.
  2. The Windows Autopilot profile is downloaded. When you use a wired connection, or manually establish a wireless connection, the profile downloads from the Autopilot deployment service as soon as the network connection is in place.
  3. User authentication occurs. When performing a user-driven deployment, the user will enter their Azure Active Directory credentials, which will be validated.
  4. Azure Active Directory join occurs. For user-driven deployments, the device will be joined to Azure AD using the specified user credentials. For self-deploying scenarios, the device will be joined without specifying any user credentials.
  5. Automatic MDM enrollment occurs. As part of the Azure AD join process, the device will enroll in the MDM service configured in Azure AD (for example, Microsoft Intune).
  6. Settings are applied. If the enrollment status page is configured, most settings will be applied while the enrollment status page is displayed. If not configured or available, settings will be applied after the user is signed in.

Profile download

When an Internet-connected Windows device boots up, it will attempt to connect to the Autopilot service and download an Autopilot profile. Note: It's important that a profile exists at this stage so that a blank profile isn't cached locally on the PC. To remove the currently cached local profile in Windows 10 version 1803 and earlier, it's necessary to re-generalize the OS using sysprep /generalize /oobe, reinstall the OS, or re-image the PC. In Windows 10 version 1809 and later, you can retrieve a new profile by rebooting the PC.

When a profile is downloaded depends upon the version of Windows client that is running on the PC. See the following table.

Windows 10 version Profile download behavior
1709 The profile is downloaded after the OOBE network connection page. This page isn't displayed when using a wired connection. In this case, the profile is downloaded before the EULA screen.
1803 The profile is downloaded as soon as possible. If wired, it's downloaded at the start of OOBE. If wireless, it's downloaded after the network connection page.
1809 The profile is downloaded as soon as possible (same as 1803), and again after each reboot.

If you need to reboot a computer during OOBE:

  • Press Shift-F10 to open a command prompt.
  • Enter shutdown /r /t 0 to restart immediately, or shutdown /s /t 0 to shut down immediately.
