  • Isn’t the second sentence incorrect? You can force local account creation by running oobe\bypassnro to bypass the internet connection requirement which lets you create a local account instead. And at least on the Pro(?) version it can be bypassed by choosing the Domain account option even if the PC won’t be joined to any domain. It just creates a local account. I have to deal with Win 11 installations as part of my job and this is the way I’ve been doing it.

    All this is not to defend M$’ attempt to force this bullshit on the users. I’m a Linux user and steer clear of M$ products whenever and wherever I can. Just wanted to point out an M$ account isn’t necessary to setup Win 11. (Unless these workarounds are only possible in the Pro version?)


  • I sometimes use ChatGPT when I’m stuck troubleshooting an issue. I had to do exactly this because it became extremely annoying when I corrected it for giving me incorrect information and it would still be “sucking up” to me with “Nice catch!” and “You’re absolutely right!”. The fact that an average person doesn’t find that creepy, unflattering and/or annoying is the real scary part.
