You Can Still Bypass Microsoft Account on Windows 11 23H2 and Windows 11 24H2, but for how long, who knows. Microsoft are clamping down hard or Microsoft account bypass methods and are basically forcing you to use a Microsoft Account during the installation process.

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.

@dingokidneys Месяц назад

I was curious about this so I just set up a Win11 VM in VirtualBox and tried setting up as work/school (domain) and it seemed trivially easy. I can't see a down side, unless it doesn't work with Win11 Home. I set the VM up as Win11 Pro. I didn't document what I did, but I think I just clicked past the email prompt and it asked "Who will be using this machine?" which set up a local administrator account.

@cam_934 Месяц назад

@@dingokidneys : "unless it doesn't work with Win11 Home" its not an option for Home. Pro & Enterprise version are needed for a Domain account setup.

@dingokidneys Месяц назад

@@cam_934 I just had a go to see if there was any way to use the domain option with Win11 Home and - yeah, you're right - it really didn't seem to work. I didn't try breaking out the command prompt because that's kinda what we were trying to avoid. To me, this means that the Home version is becoming completely unusable.

@Robert-sl7jo Месяц назад

@@dingokidneys Well, their folder icons suck. In Windows 7 and 10 the folders were vertical so you could see better what is inside. I have 5,000+ photos and with these new folders, it takes me at least 3 times longer to find the photo I want. I only see 1 photo, whereas before it was 2 or more. That was a lot easier than trying to remember the dates. These so-called upgrades from my point of view are "downgrades". They could have kept the Windows 7 "look" while beefing up security. They had a good an easy to navigate operating system and it's been gradually "downgraded" ever since in my opinion.

@imnotusingmyrealname4566 13 дней назад

If you don't have a domain that is. If you have a home network with a domain you will be able to join the domain.

@bazwillrun Месяц назад

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

@techwg Месяц назад

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...

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.

@Robert-sl7jo Месяц назад

I get that every time I open my email, a prompt to buy Microsoft 365. I click on the trash can icon, I even listed them as phishing and I still get the prompt. As for blackmail, I was happy with my HP Z440 PC on Windows 10 Pro but was getting a security error code all the time. I'm keeping that as it should work on Linux, a fine PC never any trouble. Less noise than the Dell XPS 8960 I bought.

The problem you have is that your purchase of Microsoft products is not ownership, you are purchasing to use Windows on your computer, it will never be yours, much like office 365 and other Microsoft products, so legally the eu can do nothing as it is stated in Microsoft eula,

@CelestialDeathscythe Месяц назад

Agreed. Think about it. You buy a PC but have no internet access during setup. You can't use the pc and just bought a glorified paper weight. Absolute BS. There is no reason for this nonsense. Maybe it will stop when microsoft executives have to login into an account just to go a toilet or even eat and drink or even breathe.

@PatPat-pg1lr Месяц назад

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.

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.

@robert8 Месяц назад

What if you create a new Microsoft account and use that account to get pass the setup, and once all the setup is done, then go back to Microsoft and delete the account you created. I don't know, its just a theory.

@syzuna_ Месяц назад

the thing is, it is still linked to your install and it is set in a lot of places last I checked so even if you switch to a local account the microsoft account is still in a lot of registry entries and therefore still linked to you somewhat

@jameslamev Месяц назад

I just installed Windows 11 (23H2) on two HP laptops and was NOT asked to create a Microsoft account (maybe this is just available in Australia?). The problem for Microsoft is that their users have lost confidence in them. Windows 11 installs are now actually declining. If you are using MS in a business environment (small or large) the last thing you need is another thing to worry about i.e., privacy. Having been a windows user for 30 years, even I'm planning migrating to Linux - it the "rusted-ons" are leaving - MS have a problem.

@@derekswitzer9624 You could try passing the USB thumb drive through to the VM. I just managed to boot from a thumb drive in VirtualBox by passing it to the VM then breaking into the EFI firmware on boot up to select the thumb drive as boot device. Don't know if this would work with MBR BIOS but I know that both VirtualBox and KVM allow you to set up a VM with EFI. With VMWare or HyperV your mileage may vary.

Can you release the ip before you get to the screen that asks for a user name/account? Or does Windows "renew" your connections between those screens?

@memstechtips Месяц назад

The best way to use this method is actually to not be connected to the internet at all and add the registry entry at the very first setup screen (where you choose the region) - That way, when you get to the prompt to connect to the internet, you'll have an option called "I don't have internet" & then "continue with limited setup." Then you can create a local account instantly. - so yes, you can just release the IP at the first setup screen.

@olexijl78 Месяц назад

Dear Brian, For your information: you sound like release command would work even without bypassnro command. This is not necessarily the case. You still have to use bypassnro command, but after this you have to use the ipconfig's release command later on, as soon as you are at login of MS account again. Plz set VMware and make the 1st snapshot while you are at the login to MS account (while you didn't make anything yet). The 2nd snapshot is when you are at MS account, (while done the bypassnro). Now you need just revert to the 1st one, and do the release command, it won't work further. Revert to the 2nd snapshot, and since bypassnro is already done you need to do the release command. That's it. The method does work for 23H2/24H2.

I'm on Windows 11 Pro 22H2 and with gpedit I went to Administrative Templates, Windows Components then scrolled downwards to OOBE. There are two choices; When logging into a new user account fo the first time or after an upgrade in some scenarios, that user may be presented with a screen or series of screens that prompts the user to choose privacy settings for their account. Enable this policy to prevent this experience from launching. If this policy is enabled, the privacy experience will not launch for newly-created user accounts or for accounts that would have been prompted to choose their privacy settings after an upgrade. If this policy is disabled or not configured, then the privacy experience may launch for newly-created user accounts or for accounts that should be prompted to choose their privacy settings after an upgrade. I set it to disable for now and I'm wondering if this setting will still be in effect when support ends for 22H2 and I have to go to 22H3?

Ehhh, you say you don't understand why they try and force you to use a MS account? Well that's simple, this makes it even easier for them to track whatever you do on "your" computer. Remember some countries have quite strict laws against tracking, even the EU have made some moves, but the moment you log-in to a service they can track whatever they want as you then accept whatever terms of service is included. They can then use that data to show you adds (that's basically how Google and Facebook have been printing money for years) or they can use all the information they can grab to help train their AI-systems...

Automatically? close but not precisely. You'll have to select the clickable option that is smaller font and a duller color of " I don't have internet, use local account instead". That is IF..Microcrap doesn't alter things ( such as darth vader altering deals he has made with the good guys in Star Wars episode 5 Empire Strikes Back ) further one day involving allowing that option even if no internet connection is detected.

Microsoft account is documented as required for automatic device encryption - which is why they are keen to make having a Microsoft account mandatory.

The problem is not having/not having an account, but connecting my account on a new pc i still don't know nothing about (i know that spyware/keylogger on new pc/laptop is like 1% but still...)

@KJ-kg8kc Месяц назад

I have a free Microsoft outlook account that I use to sign in with initially. Then all I do is setup a new admin local account. Sign in with that and then delete the Microsoft original account I signed in with to start with. A lot quicker than all this registry edit bypass stuff with the same end result

Even on Windows 10 LTSC, Microsoft will nag you about setting up a Microsoft account when you are joined to a local domain. Goes away if your company uses what used to be called Azure and other cloud services. I haven't seen this on 23h2 win 11 education yet, but it probably takes a month before they start nagging. MS killed a lot of good included tools, things like WDS and MDT no longer work with 11, I had to set up a FOG server to image my systems at work. It's good, but would have been nice to use the tools that I've been using for 15 years.

... You were aware of them removing the back arrow upon using that ip release command, but didn't bother saying what to do when that happens?!

@dragonstorm9968 Месяц назад

It is real simple wy MS is blocking to bypass a MS account: this is because the are going to force bitlocker disk encryption during setup. The only place where you can save your bitlocker key is in your MS account, you cannot store it on your device because you cannot access it during setup, and you also cannot print the key because you cannot setup a printer during Windows setup.

@yogibarista2818 Месяц назад

or in the case of a domain account (which is a valid option for W11 install) bitlocker recovery keys are stored in the domain's active directory.

wonder how long it will be until all doors are closed and the only way will be to create an account. Apart from being really annoying is there really a problem with having a microsoft account?

@dingokidneys Месяц назад

I suspect that with Win Home, it won't be too long but if you have Win Pro or Enterprise, the domain option has to work so I'd aim to go with that.

Looks like in 24H2 they removed the back arrow when you use ipconfig /release you can't go back. But it was an early release.

For oobe/bypassnro need to disconnect the Internet

@markd.9538 Месяц назад

This method is fine if you have a current Windows 11 USB already created - because you don't connect to the network until AFTER the bypass is done, this method cannot be stopped. Future downloaded versions of the installer may cut out the bypass, but thats future media. So get it now peoples!

Never thought of that tbh. Luckily, I have both Win10 and a pretty early copy of Win11 on my Ventoy drive.

@Lord_Funk Месяц назад

Get an ISO of older Win 11 install from the Microsoft site while still possible. That way you can install older version which can still bypass Microsoft Account requirement and also not activate BitLocker by default, then update to latest version. Windows is getting worse and worse with each iteration.

Only way I could make it worth without nuking the registry key is to do the domain method... best part is, I don't even use Windows. I just wanted Windows in a VM and use RDP to try something. It's annoying to set up RPD with an MS account, easier with a local account, except MS really wants to throw you through hoops to do so.
