In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows.
Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26200.5516 (Dev Channel)
We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account.
I don't even use Windows, but this "it's for security lol" pseudo-explanation is so blatantly false that it's pissing me off.
They are trying hard to push people to linux.
Downloading Mint at the moment. I haven't tried to use Linux since Redhat 5 I think it was.
It worked for me
I wonder if it can still be skipped with Rufus, probably.
I mean where will Microsoft stop with this ? So force people to create accounts, people create accounts, then remove them and only use local accounts or find some other loophole. Then what ? Lockdown windows usage until you have a Microsoft account with a real phone number, always connected and at least one up to date copy of birth certificate or passport ?
Isn't the money from selling microsoft products enough ? Or is the AI slop that nobody wants so expensive to develop?
Isn't the money from selling microsoft products enough?
"Enough money" is a phrase that simply doesn't make sense for a lot of people, especially the sociopaths that run companies.
I probably won't be able to install windows 11 then... Guess this is why win 10 is gaining userbase lately.
You can still skip it in Windows 11 pro
It isnt in the article, are you sure about that, do you have a source? This is news about a new build
You can join Windows 11 pro to a domain. In the setup you create a new local user that you use to domain join the machine.
If you never domain join it you just have a local user.
