Microsoft May Remove Windows 11 Online Login Requirement - Lemmy.zip

> One of the biggest pain points for Windows 11 users in recent years is Microsoft’s insistence to log into an online account to access Windows 11. Seemingly as part of the Windows team’s recent initiative to address community feedback, Microsoft may be moving towards a Windows 11 that no longer requires that online account login at the initial setup. While no official plans have been confirmed, Scott Hanselman, a Microsoft Partner Product Manager and VP of Developer Community, recently hinted at the change in a post on X. This announcement comes after Microsoft revealed plans to improve Windows 11 memory management and the overall user experience.

I did win 11 install like this:

  • Install windows
  • On login screen create a throwaway Account (mine was somthing like [email protected])
  • Decline all the adware
  • in Settings create new Account
  • say you don’t know the ms Account of that user
  • chose to set up user without ms Account
  • upgrade new user to admin
  • log in as newly created user
  • delete user lonked to burner MS Account

    • Nice Little Side effect is, that like this, MS gets flooded with dead accounts 😁

    That is clever. Sure is sad though that you have to trick Microsoft into not requiring bullshit. If they were better at programming you wouldn’t be able to trick them.
