I do the OOBE\BYPASSNRO on all the machines I set up, if you use a trash email address it will refer to it for ever and for everything

Despite Microsoft's plans on removing the BypassNRO file since March 2025.

"oobe\bypassnro" still lives on in the official Windows 11 Version 25H2 (aka Windows 11 2025 Update) ISO release from Microsoft.

Just remember to disconnect from the internet first before running it. 😉

I just built a computer for my Mom today because she was facing the Windows 10 shutdown. I installed Windows 11 25H2. Happy to say the oobe\bypassnro thing to avoid having to use a Microsoft account still works!

Fürsorge oder Kontrolle? In den neuesten Windows-Insider-Vorschauen werden bekannte Wege zum Anlegen eines lokalen Kontos bei der Ersteinrichtung (OOBE) entfernt. 🔒

start ms-cxh:localonly has been recently removed in the recent Windows 11 Beta Update, BypassNRO still works! 🎉

⚠️ DISCONNECT from the internet first! ⚠️

Shift + F10
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
shutdown /r /t 0

Det er mest noget jeg roder med på job. Som max er det en oobe\bypassnro vi bruger. For at få den op at køre uden internet. Men vi har en fast caveat: Vi tager intet ansvar for hvad MS senere hen kræver. Ganske som med Æbleprodukter. Ellers risikerer vi gentagne: "Nu virker dette ikke?!"🤷‍♂️

Microsoft are removing mechanisms for creating a local account in Windows Setup...

(Probably because the spies don't like it, makes their job harder)

Got past the OOBE, but it looks like I won't be able to sign in, it keeps asking me to enable the connection in guest mode and exiting guest mode restarts the VM.

I know the music doesn’t come until the OOBE screen but man I can’t help but hear it anytime I see the Windows XP installation menu.

이번에 서피스 새로 설정하면서 윈도 로컬 계정 생성을 시도가 막힌걸 확인.

a @ a. com 이런 흔한 계정 시도했는데 너무 많은 시도가 있었다면서 안되고 하나 남은 버튼 누르면 다시 로그인 창으로 돌아가더라... 후...

결국 Shift-F10 해서
.\oobe\bypassnro
실행하고 다시 시도해서 통과함 어휴 마이크로소프트
