Any way to bypass the Win10 Welcome screen during first install ?

Hi ! Still experimenting and moving my first steps with NTLite.
I noticed that during the first installation, after you log in for the first time (OOBE removed, admin account created with NTLite/Unattended section, Win10 22H2 ) I am stuck at the Welcome screen for about 80 seconds (i.e it says "Welcome" with the rolling dots anim), which is very frustrating, especially when you have to create, install and test a deployment several times over and over in a day, for experimenting. So my questions:
What does exactly happen during this stage ? What is Windows doing ? I notice there is disc activity. Is it perhaps attempting to connect to the Internet ? Internet is disabled for security reasons here btw. Is there anything I can still remove/disable to skip this annoying Welcome stage or it is essential and I must live with it ?
Thanks in advance !
