From the post:

>Microsoft is cracking down on bypass methods that let Windows 11 installs use a local account, and avoid an internet requirement during the setup process. In a new Windows 11 test build released today, Microsoft says it’s removing known workarounds for creating local accounts as they can apparently cause issues during the setup process. “We are removing known mechanisms for creating a local account in the Windows Setup experience (OOBE),” says Amanda Langowski, the lead for the Windows Insider Program. “While these mechanisms were often used to bypass Microsoft account setup, they also inadvertently skip critical setup screens, potentially causing users to exit OOBE with a device that is not fully configured for use.”

That explanation is fucking bullshit and they know it.

I'm sure there's a workaround already though. There always is.

The workaround is to install linux ;)

But you are right. There is a way around it or they have to admit they build such a garbage fucked up "onboarding" process that if you don't have a "let us spy on you" account then you basically can't have a stable system.
