You Can Still Setup Windows 11 Without Logging Into a Microsoft Account, Courtesy of a New “CMD-Based” Workaround
Apr 4, 2025
Microsoft recently implemented a "security" measure to ensure users log into a Microsoft account to install Windows 11, but another bypass has emerged online.

Microsoft's Windows 11 OOBE Experience Might Just Get Much Smoother, With a New Bypass That Skips Microsoft Account Process

Microsoft always finds a way to bug users with Windows 11 and its security measures. In a previous report, we discussed how the firm had patched the popular bypass script "bypassnro.cmd" that allowed users to complete OS installation without setting up a Microsoft account. While the announcement certainly wasn't a joyful one, it seems like a workaround has already been figured out by the X user @witherornot1337. It simply involves executing a command on the CMD, and here's how you can do it, too.
In order for this bypass to work out, you must install the Home and Pro editions of Windows 11, since for other models, you can use the “I don’t have internet” button. The bypass involves pressing "Shift + F10" when you are in the initial step of setting up Microsoft Windows 11 after installation, and that will prompt CMD to open up. Enter the "start ms-cxh:localonly" command, and you'll see another window pop-up, leading you to create a local user account only. This apparently removes the restriction of setting up a Microsoft account and is a much simpler implementation.
