    I am not familiar with these,it was just my guess & experience that usually in such situations it is better to keep them simple when troubleshooting/implementing.Just try with simple version first & then add.

    I have actually not tried installing Windows with those static IP settings yet but is literally the last thing I need to figure out to have the perfect unattend.xml file.

    Ok thanks, for route settings, how to create it ?

    My ipconfig /all

    Code:
    Configuration IP de Windows
    
       Nom de l’hôte . . . . . . . . . . : tistou-PC
       Suffixe DNS principal . . . . . . :
       Type de noeud. . . . . . . . . .  : Hybride
       Routage IP activé . . . . . . . . : Non
       Proxy WINS activé . . . . . . . . : Non
    
    Ethernet adapter Ethernet :
    
    Connection-specific DNS Suffix =>
    Description = > Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V
    DHCP Enabled => No
    Autoconfiguration Enabled = > Yes
    IPv4 adress => 192.168.0.1((Preferred)
    Subnet Mask => 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway = > 192.168.0.254
    NetBIOS over TCPIP = > Disabled

    255.255.255.0 is your subnet mask, your default gateway is what you log into your router with, like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1, when you set your IP4 settings manually you always need to put that in as well.

    The 192.168.*.**/24 is what you want your IP address to be with 24 making the 255.255.255.0 subnet mask. If your gateway is 192.168.0.1 ( what you login to your router/modem with) you need to do that in route like I did with the 0.0.0.0/0. The IP address in 192.168.*.**/24 must be different. See my ipconfig / all 192.168.2.25 is the IP address I set, 255.255.255.0 is the subnet mask, 192.168.2.1 is the gateway (same as what I log into my modem with) and 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 is the DNS.

    Route needs to be like this with the <Prefix>0.0.0.0/0</Prefix>

    Edit: And you need to add all the Metrics as well.

    Code:
                       <Routes>
                           <Route wcm:action="add">
                               <Identifier>1</Identifier>
                               <Metric>10</Metric>
                               <NextHopAddress>192.168.2.1</NextHopAddress>
                               <Prefix>0.0.0.0/0</Prefix>
                           </Route>
                       </Routes>
