Deploying Windows IoT Core to Raspberry Pi 4

Posted by TechGuru on Sep 10, 2025

I'm looking to deploy Windows IoT Core on a Raspberry Pi 4 for a prototype project. I've followed the official imaging guide, but I'm encountering a boot loop after flashing the image. Below are the steps I performed:

Downloaded the latest Windows IoT Core image from the Microsoft website.
Used dd on Linux to write the image to a 32 GB micro‑SD card.
Inserted the card into the Pi and powered it on.
The Pi LEDs flash briefly, then stop; no HDMI output.

I've tried using a different SD card and a different power supply, but the issue persists. Any advice on troubleshooting this boot issue would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you are using the 64‑bit version of the image for Pi 4. The 32‑bit image can cause boot loops on newer hardware.

You might also want to check the config.txt on the boot partition. Adding dtoverlay=disable-wifi helped me avoid conflicts.
