Microsoft just made Windows 11 a lot worse - local accounts are blocked during installation

When using new (25H2) build you have to. Or just use MS account in setup and switch to local after installation.
You can also use older build and set up windows with it (using old bypass methods), then upgrade to 25H2. I still don't see this update in WU on my PC.

I installed a fresh copy of Win 11 Pro last week using his CTT utility, stripping all the garbage out and went straight into local user. Hopefully I wont get hit with a login screen when I get hit with the update.
Thanks for the info.

Nooooooooo I need to set up an account to install this operating system, this will take like 30 seconds
losing my mind
I applaud anyone who opts out of Microsoft's forced use of their online platforms. And I don't understand why you stand up for a company that removes this basic feature. It's not about the inconvenience of making a MS account, it's about principles and freedom.

We are the product. That is what MS is selling.

I had no idea MS was pushing so many promotions for their subscription services during a normal setup. What an awful company.

that isnt meant for regular home users, its kind of ghetto needing to do this and not just provide a normal option for home users. also you are forced to needing an internet connection to even get to that section btw, so you need a workaround for that.3 whole clicks!?

true, it should just be an option.
but, what I find so hilarious about all these Windows 11 discussions is that supposed "hardcore" or "enthusiast" users always jump right to "I'm going to switch to Linux now! hurrdurr!"... so the exact people that you'd think would have no issue to use workarounds, and who also should be the people in the know of which workarounds exist, are the people who always go nuclear because they now have to press a keyboard key once and write 1 line of text once, to do what they wanted instead of clicking on a button.
