Grandma would be angry and stuck, so would my parents as well. Microsoft should fix this by letting the settings open up and allowing for manual configuration of the wifi adapter, or remove the requirement that ypu connecting to internet in windows 11 home version.

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

2023-09-06T19:05:25+00:00 Glad that worked, was not an option for me as I am primarily Wireless. My router is too far away in my home office to connect to it directly and it's just not convenient. The post I made resolves the need to hard-wire the laptop to the router. It is a permanent solution for the many laptops I have to configure.
