Hi! I have an idea for a feature.
The main point is to prevent Windows from automatically installing drivers upon connecting to the internet. Instead, it should only do so through the Windows Update center in the Settings app.
Here's my workflow: I install Windows using your script while offline. This allows me to install some key drivers myself (for the graphics card, chipset, network, etc.) before Windows clutters up my system. After I finish my driver installation, I connect to the internet. The problem is that Windows then automatically installs its own drivers. If I go to Windows Update in Settings afterward, I often find that the automatically installed drivers are older than the ones available through the Update Center itself.
I found a registry tweak that is supposed to disable this automatic driver installation, but I'm not sure if it's correct:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching]
"SearchOrderConfig"=dword:00000000

I think this would be a very useful feature that some people would find helpful.
