Hello All,

We are having MECM 1910, I am try to deploy Windows 10 1909 OS using Task Sequence. I have Included multiple device model Drivers to Task sequence. Task sequence is deploying successfully.

****But Drivers are installing after First Login, Its taking around 10 mins to install the driver and its prompting for Restart.***

In the Task sequence I have already added the Restart task after driver installation. Still I am facing this problem. Driver should install before user login to the Devices, But its not happening.

Please help me to fix this issue.

    How are you applying drivers?

    • Apply Driver Step during WinPE
    • Packages with Setup Based Driver Installs from Vendor (Blue Tooth type Driver Installers)
    • Vendor Tools (HPIA, DCU)

    Have you confirmed that the driver that is being installed at first logon is something you were installing during the TS? Or is it a newer one coming down via Windows Update / Windows Store? Perhaps after OSD, disconnect device from network right away to ensure it's not pulling something down in the background. Then logon and see if you have the same behavior.

    Have you checked the smsts logs for apply driver package step. Does that say step completed successfully.

    Hi @Mahesh Gowda. S

    Why is the drivers in step 6 are explicitly installed seperately. This should be part of step 3 itself.
    Is there is any specific reason you are installing them seperately. Are they software. If yes ,they might install while users login if active setup is configured and as a behaviour of the setup packages.

    I would suggest to include those drivers as inf files in driver packages itself.
    If it is required as software( hotkeys per say might be available as a software installer) , such cases please create a machine level silent installer package and use it it the task sequence.

    Regards
