I just finished re-building windows after something i did soft-locked it beyond my ability to recover. And it’s all over shit like this. “But frank, just disable [MSFT’s newest malware anti-feature]!” Like MSFT would ever respect that.

protip: don’t install win11 with a microsoft account; use a local-only account. No problems.

They do make it pretty hard to do so, but I think the oobe\bypassnro trick still works

I wasn’t able to set up my computer early this year without using an account (maybe I just missed the option, but if it was there they buried it).

I was able to switch it to local afterwards, but there was already an unwanted link with one-drive and several of my folders, which persisted even after uninstalling one-drive, and apparently can only be fixed within one-drive’s specific settings.

To fix it I had to re-install the program, and then re-uninstall it when everything was finally disconnected. Fuck microsoft.

Unless they’ve changed something Windows will very grudgingly let you install windows without signing in as long as the computer is not connected to the internet.

Oh Jesus fucking Christ, they did change it? You can’t install Win11 without a network connection now?
