🔐 Microsoft Tightens Grip on Windows 11 Account Setup

The latest Windows 11 Insider Dev Channel build has removed bypassnro, a script long used to skip the mandatory Microsoft Account sign-in during setup.

📌 Microsoft now requires internet and account login for all setups.
📌 Change applies to both Home and Pro editions.
📌 The update is framed as a security and user experience enhancement.
📌 Local accounts reduce notifications, ads, and tracking—but you’ll now need new workarounds.

This change is currently in preview but could roll out to all users in Windows 11 25H2 this fall.

"We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account."

What else do you need to switch to a #Linux system which is respecting your privacy and your security in contrast to MS? 🤔

Contact your local community if you need help with that.

Further benefit: Linux is not forcing you to throw away perfectly good computer hardware just to update to #Win11.
