Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account Anonymous 10/08/2025 (Wed) 00:12:25 No. 24351
>Microsoft is cracking down on bypass methods that let Windows 11 installs use a local account, and avoid an internet requirement during the setup process. In a new Windows 11 test build released today, Microsoft says it’s removing known workarounds for creating local accounts as they can apparently cause issues during the setup process. >“We are removing known mechanisms for creating a local account in the Windows Setup experience (OOBE),” says Amanda Langowski, the lead for the Windows Insider Program. “While these mechanisms were often used to bypass Microsoft account setup, they also inadvertently skip critical setup screens, potentially causing users to exit OOBE with a device that is not fully configured for use.” >The changes mean Windows 11 users will need to complete the OOBE screens with an internet connection and Microsoft account in future versions of the OS. >Microsoft already removed the “bypassnro” workaround earlier this year, and today’s changes also disable the “start ms-cxh:localonly” command that Windows 11 users discovered after Microsoft’s previous changes. Using this command now resets the OOBE process and it fails to bypass the Microsoft account requirement. https://www.theverge.com/news/793579/microsoft-windows-11-local-account-bypass-workaround-changes

>>24351 is this a punishment to all the win 10 holdouts for not ""upgrading"" sooner? Well I recently came to terms with not dual booting windows for my next pc, really didn't need any more incentive. Big jeet is dead set on selling your data huh, whats next an update which bricks every win11 local account install.
>>24353 I've got a separate SSD that has 11 installed and it just force updated despite my group policy settings, manually deleting downloaded update files, and a supposed debloater that was supposed to disable updates. I haven't booted it since because at this point, it's simply not worth it anymore but when I finally decide I hate myself again and start it up just to torture myself I'll let you know. BTW it also obsessively scans the shit out of my encrypted drives and I only know bcause i have 2 12TBs that are loud as shit and both go crazy when I boot into 11 even when they arent mounted. I tried looking this up and it said windows is "indexing" them and scanning them etc but this only happens on 11 and it's pretty weird that it just never stops

>>24353 >is this a punishment to all the win 10 holdouts for not ""upgrading"" sooner? It feels more like a reward. Updooters are the ones being punished, not me.
I was a win 7 holdout, had a ton of issues with windows 10, drives going missing, ethernet drivers going missing, random 6 hour updates on a 16 core computer with nvme. Defaulting my web browser randomly, constantly nagging me, putting gay flags in the taskbar, constantly spinning up hard drives, constantly revving up the cpu when idle for no reason. Silently deletes piracy software and if you don't notice and revert through the virus center before removing the drive it's gone forever. Every update you might find it has uploaded your entire home drive into the cloud, unencrypted. Oh you want to debloat your computer with a 3rd party software...hehee, well now you have to reinstall, and your gonna need to provide a phone number and make an account. It's literally unusable, I spent less time learning linux. After 5 years I don't have any of those issues anymore and it helped me learn actual computer stuff. What I mean is I learned things like docker instead of spending my time fighting any of the issues listed above. It's not fruitlesss either, even if i never used docker again it's more useful to me than some gay ass trick to get past microsofts bullshit that will be reverted in the next update anyway. That's just pure frustration for no reason.
>>24533 You might have turned indexing off in the drive setting on 10, I did, but it would still spin up the drives every half hour or so despite not being accessed for anything. I'm guessing they removed the ability to turn indexing off in win 11?
