One of the biggest pain points for Windows 11 users in recent years is Microsoft’s insistence to log into an online account to access Windows 11. Seemingly as part of the Windows team’s recent initiative to address community feedback, Microsoft may be moving towards a Windows 11 that no longer requires that online account login at the initial setup. While no official plans have been confirmed, Scott Hanselman, a Microsoft Partner Product Manager and VP of Developer Community, recently hinted at the change in a post on X. This announcement comes after Microsoft revealed plans to improve Windows 11 memory management and the overall user experience.

    Shift + F10 and running OOBE\BYPASSNRO still worked for me last month. Depends on what update of Win 11 is on the system (I think up to 24H2 is fine).

    Otherwise, I’ve had success doing Shift+F10 and running ipconfig /release to break the network connection at the sign in screen.
