AptiviA better Microsoft Account bypass method
Following the event of where Microsoft has removed the bypassnro.cmd file from the oobe folder to attempt to force everyone to set up their PCs with a Microsoft account and a controversy following Microsoft’s statement of “This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account,” the internet has blown up with outcry across several websites, especially Reddit:
- Microsoft is removing the BYPASSNRO command which allowed users to skip the Microsoft account requirement on Windows setup
- Microsoft is removing the BYPASSNRO command from Windows so you will be forced to add a Microsoft account during OS setup
- No More bypassnro, Microsoft account a must!
- I have thoughts about this, but it’s not worth losing my reddit account over
- Microsoft removes BypassNRO script in a new Windows 11 update
- bypassnro Removal (from Microsoft Tech Community)
Normally, you’d think that the bypass has been removed. However, people have recently uncovered the contents of the bypassnro.cmd file that will be shown below. Now, we have a completely new bypass method involving a single short command to be run in the command prompt.
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /fshutdown /r /t 0Checkmate, Microsoft!
A tipster at X has recently shown a video showcasing how to bypass the Microsoft account requirement without having to write the above commands. It involves running CMD and executing the “start ms-cxh:localonly” command. The tipster claims that it is only required for both Home and Pro editions.
At any point in the OOBE, you can perform the following steps:
start ms-cxh:localonlyDon’t fret by “Microsoft Account” in the title bar and references to “child or teenager accounts” in the dialog box itself; they are unrelated to the local account. If everything goes well, the OOBE should exit and proceed immediately to the “Setting up your PC” screen. You may be prompted to review your privacy settings.
We have saved a copy of the video, in case the video gets taken down. You can find it here.
Now, you should be in your empty desktop.
