Windows 10 Install Hanging on Internet Connection

installinternetwifiwindows

I am doing a clean install on my 15" MacBook Pro, i7, via Boot Camp 6.1.0, Mojave 10.14.5. I downloaded the latest version of Windows 10 via Microsoft (as of July 2019). All installs fine and when it reboots into Windows 10 to finish the installation process, it hangs on the screen with blue box that says "Let's Connect you to a Network", but there is no option to choose a network.

Although I entered my wifi and passcode prior to this step during the install process, it does not see an internet connection in which to choose. I've tried starting over clean three times and it stalls on the same place each time.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can resolve this? Sorry if this issue has been posted before, I searched and searched and could not find it.

I have resolved this issue. Can’t explain it, but deleted downloaded ISO File, increased sector size to 128GB. Windows installed and loaded as before, but got stuck at exactly same spot on not connecting to the internet (blue box on screen in Windows 10 start up). However, the lower left hand corner now changed it’s radio button to bypass the internet connection. Windows then finished install, loaded and started up.

BUT!.....No wifi!!! (another issue I’ve seen on this forum). Here’s how you resolve that:

  1. Insert formatted USB Drive. Open Boot Camp Assistant from Utilities.
  2. At top pull down Action and select Download Windows Support Software.
  3. When USB install is completed, Re-boot to Windows while leaving USB inserted.
  4. In Windows, go to USB Drive, Boot Camp folder, and start Setup.
  5. Drivers will get installed and Wifi should work (mine did).

What a frustrating 2 days this has been!

Hope this helps someone.
