You Can Still Bypass Microsoft Account on Windows 11

If people still cant understand/realise how much MS hates the fact that you want to own and control your hardware and software they never will...like other companies MS wants total control over what you do and how you do it on and offline, and they want to know every single thing that you do, every site you visit etc etc so if theyve overlooked anything they can then clamp down on it..this video is another perfect example of it !...just think, if they hadnt put in place so many restrictive practices on hardware, the uptake of 11 would be far far higher

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to go back to installing off a CD with none of these hurdles to jump.

It’s about time American and/or European commissions start looking into these practices, and ban them. Your officially buy a product of them, and then they push you into a corner, so that they can force you to accept a heap of shit you never asked for. This starts smelling very fishy and is looking more and more like blackmailing. This is what gets me very angry. If it would be possible, I would never ever use any of their products again. Unfortunately, I professionally am bound to a bunch of tools that only run on windows, so there‘s no real alternative. I don’t want their shit, I just „want“ their OS, and but only because other companies force me to use that. That being already bad enough, there’s no need to add injury to insult.

The thing about using the Domain account method is that it never prompts you to log into a domain. It basically just lets you create a local account, and you're done.

Thanks, Brian, You have the best computer help videos on YouTube, I see others and when I am in doubt, I fact check that information on your video search, if it's not there it never happened.

Bypassnro DOES work. What they did is make an additional check to see if you have internet connectivity and if it detects internet it ignores the bypass you enabled. So all you need to do is after doing bypassnro, unplug the internet or as soon as the OOBE comes back up release the IP before you continue and then the bypassnro will work. Lets remember.... bypassnro is a batch file included by MS on the official MS media. If they wanted to stop people using it, they would remove it. Also they did not add registry entries to prevent bypassnro working. Those entries are standard and part of the OOBE. I just did the leg work to figure out how to manually get up and running in case MS ever do remove their bypassnro that they chose to put in. That bypassnro was not already put in, that gets put in by the bypassnro.cmd file you ran... Type the following at that point type oobe\bypassnro.cmd and you will see the contents of the file. It adds that registry entry and reboots the system...

Thanks, Brian, for that video. Was a great watch and we know what works and what does not. Take care.

For Win 11 Home this worked for me. Just did this yesterday. When you get to the screen where you have to select a region kill your interent connection and proceed through the prompts from there. You will also see an option to select "I don't have an internet connection". Click on that as well.

Ad of July 24, 2024 this is STILL WORKING!!! ONLY fix on the NET that ACTUALLY works!!! Thanks bro, you ROCK!

Thanks for the video Brian, much appreciated

Thanks for the detailed understanding of the problem and the thorough explanation.

Hey Brian, two little questions: 1. What is the domain method and why would people not wish to use it, and 2. Can you use the same Microsoft account on multiple systems; pros and cons.

This method does not work I tested it just now, it just says you lost connection and stuck in a loop or restore connection Edit: I used bypassnro and disconnect ethernet and it worked

Excellent tip like always. Thank you Brian!

Considering you're basically dropping the network connection so you can create a local account, wouldn't it also work just to disconnect the computer during installation?

I made my .ISO when Windows 11 became available so the OOBE method should still work for me as long as my LAN/WLAN aren’t connected.

Although im not planing installing w11 is always interesting to see these kind of videos just to learn something new! You rule my friend!

I just want to say that your YouTube channel is hands down the best for getting the most out of your Windows computer. It is of the good. I disagree on some things, but everyone will. Keep up the excellent work!

I finally 'upgraded' to Windows 11 from Windows 10 yesterday, after I had to do a complete all-files (including my user-files....) Windows re-installation from a rescue-USB I had made in Windows 10. Anyway, all I did was create a MS account that I had no intention of ever using, Finish the installation, created a local user account with Admin status, then I simply set the sign-into-Windows option to sign-in using the newly-created local user account, then deleted the MS account, accepting the MS dire-warnings about how horrific my life would then be, and how much I would lose (I had no files in this account, just the obligatory and accursed 'OneDrive' rubbish). Job was a good-un, and now I just sign-in with my local-user account for Windows-boot.

Thank you Brian Ms must be watching yours and everyone elses videos to see what you's are doing so they can plan there next approach of attack Cheers have a great day
