Microsoft May Remove Windows 11 Online Login Requirement

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

delete user lonked to burner MS Account

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

During install, you can opt to login as a business or school user, then just opt to create a local account on that page.

No microsoft account needed.

That method right there is why I never understood all the people bemoaning they they removed registry entries, needed shift-f10 and stuff like that.

Business -> Domain Join -> Create a local account. Done. And it works in current releases too as I just did it with an iso downloaded from Microsoft two weeks ago.
