Language Configuration on Unattended section

[disc124]

Hello,
I’m working on creating a fully automated Windows 11 Enterprise 25H2 image. The deployment is mostly successful; however, during setup I still encounter the language selection screen. The system defaults to English (United Kingdom) and does not allow me to change it to English (United States) at that stage.

Below are:

• A screenshot from NTLite showing the language and regional settings I configured.
• A screenshot from Windows 11 Language Settings after installation, showing the resulting configuration.

In addition, I would like guidance on how to fully automate this step during setup so that:

• All language and regional settings are automatically set to English (United States).
• The language selection prompt is completely skipped, with no user input or confirmation required during installation.

Are you starting with the en-US or en-GB ISO? The system's language is determined by the base ISO, and while you can add Language Packs for users, the system locale defaults to ISO's base language.

You have the choice of:

- Download the en-US ISO, and add en-GB Language for the user's convenience​

- Download the en-GB ISO, and add en-US​

The two different editions are not interchangeable, in regards to the base edition. While there are ways to hack around it, you should follow MS's intention and select the language you want the system (not the user's preference) to follow in logging events.

Maybe hard to understand (for me as german either): en-US and en-GB are different languagepacks. You have to integrate both to enable these settings in NTlite. If only one of them is integrated the settings will always fallback to basic language.
