Apply a provisioning package (Windows 10/11) Provisioning packages can be applied to a device during initial setup (OOBE) and after (runtime). w10 lizgt2000 lizlong article medium gkomatsu aaroncz

Apply a provisioning package

Applies to

  • Windows 10
  • Windows 11

Provisioning packages can be applied to a device during initial setup (out-of-box experience or "OOBE") and after ("runtime").

Note

  • Applying a provisioning package to a desktop device requires administrator privileges on the device.
  • You can interrupt a long-running provisioning process by pressing ESC.

Tip

In addition to the following methods, you can use the PowerShell cmdlet Install-ProvisioningPackage with -LogsDirectoryPath to get logs for the operation.

During initial setup

To apply a provisioning package from a USB drive during initial setup:

  1. Start with a device on the initial setup screen. If the device has gone past this screen, reset the device to start over. To reset, go to Settings > System > Recovery > Reset this PC.

  2. Insert the USB drive. If nothing happens when you insert the USB drive, press the Windows key five times.

    • If there is only one provisioning package on the USB drive, the provisioning package is applied. See step 5.
    • If there is more than one provisioning package on the USB drive, Windows setup will recognize the drive and ask how you want to provision the device. Select Install provisioning package and select Next.

  3. Select the provisioning package (.ppkg) that you want to apply, and select Yes.

    :::image type="content" source="../images/provisioning-oobe-choose-package.png" alt-text="Choose a package.":::

  4. The selected provisioning package will install and apply to the device.

    :::image type="content" source="../images/provisioning-oobe-installing.png" alt-text="Setting up your PC.":::

  5. Wait for the device to load and begin applying the provisioning package. Once you see "You can remove your removable media now!" you can remove your USB drive. Windows will continue provisioning the device.

After initial setup

Provisioning packages can be applied after initial setup through Windows settings or by simply double-clicking a provisioning package.

Windows Settings

  1. Insert the USB drive, then navigate to Settings > Accounts > Access work or school > Add or remove a provisioning package > Add a package.

    :::image type="content" source="../images/provisioning-runtime-manage-packages.png" alt-text="Add or remove a provisioning package.":::

  2. Choose the method you want to use, such as Removable Media.

    :::image type="content" source="../images/provisioning-runtime-choose-package.png" alt-text="Choose a method.":::

  3. Select the provisioning package (.ppkg) that you want to apply, and select Add.

    :::image type="content" source="../images/provisioning-runtime-add-package.png" alt-text="Select and add a package.":::

  4. Provisioning packages require administrator privileges as they can modify system policies and run scripts at the system level. Ensure you trust the package you are installing before accepting the UAC prompt. Select Yes.

    :::image type="content" source="../images/provisioning-runtime-UAC.png" alt-text="Do you want to allow changes to your device?":::

  5. The provisioning runtime will ask if the package is from a source you trust. Verify that you are applying the correct package and that it is trusted. Select Yes, add it.

Apply Directly

To apply a provisioning package directly, such as from a USB drive, folder, network, or SharePoint site:

  1. Navigate to the provisioning package and double-click it to begin the installation.
