I made with ntlite a simple unattended autounattended.xml file. Windows 11 is installing. It makes unattended free disk layout. It reboots several times and then it comes with the question for the keyboard layout.

What can be the problem?

Please attach your preset (after removing any user passwords or license keys).
 
There's multiple possibilities for your input locale.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/w...-language-packs?view=windows-11#input-locales
Dutchnl-NL: United States-International keyboard (0413:00020409)
Dutch (Aruba)en-US: United States-International keyboard (0409:00020409)
Dutch (Belgium)nl-BE: Belgian (Period) keyboard (0813:00000813)
Dutch (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba)en-US: United States-International keyboard (0409:00020409)
Dutch (Curaτao)en-US: United States-International keyboard (0409:00020409)
Dutch (Sint Maarten)en-US: United States-International keyboard (0409:00020409)
Dutch (Suriname)en-US: United States-International keyboard (0409:00020409)

Your preset picked 0409:00020409 (English language / US International keyboard)
Schneegan's limits to your option for Dutch (Netherlands) to 0413:00000413 (Dutch / Dutch keyboard)

The first number is the language (0409 -> English, 0413 -> Dutch)
The second number is the keyboard layout (00020409-> US International, 00000413 -> Dutch)
 
I tried severl times. Also I paste <InputLocale>0413:00020409</InputLocale> in autounattend.xml See attachment. Everytime I get an input screen. See jpg attachment. It is the same iso as with schneegans.
What I'm doing wrong?

What does your Schneegan XML have for the locales?
Code:

                        </SetupUILanguage>
                </component>
 
I found it. There was c:\windows\setup\panther directory with an unattend.xml file. I removed the xml nd it worked
:)
 
Unattended files saved in C:\Windows\Panther have higher priority than autounattend.xml. Some apps like Rufus will silently create one, without informing you of its existence.
