Stuck with returning post configuration after finishing it and reboot

I just installed Qubes release 4.2.2 (R4.2) on my HP Envy x360 laptop.
Problem that I face is after post configuration and reboot I keep getting the initial setup screen with the orange triangle to show that I need to configure.

Don’t know if this could be related but after install, the reboot option doesn’t work, it keep stuck in black screen with blinking cursor above left on the screen. Manual shutdown and reboot works.

Do you have a working system after finishing Initial Setup? Or does Qubes OS reboots after finishing or during Initial Setup by itself?

I have a working system. But after shutdown and next time I start laptop I get the initial setup screen again with the orange triangle to notify that I have to do something. Again, after finishing without changing anything, the system works again.

You can check why it failed to work properly in dom0 logs using journalctl.
You can disable the Initial Setup start manually by running this command in dom0 terminal:

sudo systemctl disable initial-setup initial-setup-reconfiguration

But I guess it’s better to find out the reason why Initial Setup keeps failing because this could lead to some issues later.

I retried with new install and did updates via Update Manager. Now it did reboot without post-install screen. No clue what fixed it. If the problem returns I will follow your instructions. Thanks for fast response and help!
