Network configuration at installation

I am using the unattended mode to skip the tedious part of the Windows installation by pre-defining some settings. However, it is also skipping the network configuration part, even though I have selected the option not to skip this part. Is there anything I can do to make only the network configuration part appear on the installation screen.
 
OOBE will display the Network setup screens if your PC doesn't auto-configure by itself, via DHCP.

Removing OOBENetworkCaptivePortal and OOBENetworkConnectionFlow components will also prevent you from seeing them.
 
I don't know if it makes a difference, but right-clicking on the button for "Skip wireless setup" will reset it to grey (not defined).
 
I've also tried leaving this setting at default, but the network configuration part of the setup ends up being ignored along with the other options.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but right-clicking on the button for "Skip wireless setup" will reset it to grey (not defined).
 
I forgot to notice you've enabled SkipMachineOOBE & SkipUserOOBE. Those settings are deprecated for W10/11, and while they still work can often interfere with OOBE setup. Reset both of them.
 
I reset both settings, and the option to select the network before installing Windows appeared again. Thanks.
