    I just set up new PC for my grandparents that I imaged myself using the latest windows 11 iso from MS. It wouldn’t let me bypass the account require when I was offline. It just stalled at the “no network” screen and wouldn’t continue unless I connected the PC to a network.

    I had to use the OOBE/BYPASSNRO or whatever the command was

      Same here. There has to be no network whatsoever. No wifi, no wired connection.

      You can completely cut out any internet access to the device (via the router), and it will still cry like baby and say that you need to use a Microsoft account.

      There is absolutely no reason why disabling this needs to require a special keystroke let alone command.

      I setup my dad’s framework using this method a ~month ago - it took an extra 10 minutes but MS can blow me. I would have opted for no OS pre-installed/linux but he uses a critical application that is Windows-only, and 10 is no longer available…

      Actually consume feces, Microsoft.
