is not a question, I've tested it yesterday, and without connection, and it is now requesting to connect in order to continue with the installation, so seems M$ implemented it in the June Updated ISO recently to force users to use M$ account I guess.
hi guys, anyone experiencing boot loop issues (preparing automatic repair loop) in windows 10 Enterprise ( installed with vmware workstation) after this june update KB5039302.
I believe I have LTSC 2021 and have build 19044.4529 Installed it about 18 months ago and have just reinstalled it. I assume there is no point downloading a later ISO?
What exact SKU requires to be connected during OOBE? even in windows 11 it is only Home who requires this and even that can be fixed.
I will bet it is only Home (SL), like it is with 11, will run the tests like i did here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1737930
Due to boot loop issues had to fresh/clean install windows 10 enterprise 22h2 with April 2024 ISO , thanks to old 2019 "MAK key" it worked like a charm even after 5 years and permanently activated the machine
