Windows 11 fresh installation "Let's connect you to a network" stuck

Anonymous

Hi,

I am trying to install Win11 on my new Lenovo Air14. It was delivered with a Chinese version if the OS, so I formatted everything. I created a USB-drive with a second PC using the Media Creation Tool, but now I am stuck at the "Let's connect you to a network" screen.

No Networks are shown (my other Notebook right next to it shows 29)

Next doesn't work (greyed out)

Shift + F10 doesn't work

ALT+F4, doesn't work

I can't open any of the three options on the bottom right (greyed out)

The only FN keys working are brightness, volume and "project screen" (Win+P)

Anything I can do? I thought about trying to install Win10 first and then update.

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000092599/intel-nuc.html For others that have this issue. Why Microsoft changed OOBE to not allow you to bypass this screen when wifi drivers aren't detected is ridiculous.
