Hi, With the registry entire "BypassNRO" we can get back the Offline Account option at the installation stage, but it doesn't work for the Home Edition. Dose any workaround exist for the Home Edition too? Code: Reg Add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE" /v "BypassNRO" /t REG_DWORD /d "0x00000001" /f
Home (+SL) is/are the only 2 SKUs for which this trick is needed to get an offline account: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...t-on-win-11-home-sl.84109/page-3#post-1737930
I hope there would be an automatic solution for this. It's only a matter of time till Microsoft will also force this to the other SKU's.
MRP offers the option to set windows to temp disconnect during oobe and force win 11 to offer a local account. They can nag you on other SKUs but not force you to use online accounts, specially on Enterprise/EDU.
That would be a good idea to add that option also to the "Win 11 Boot And Upgrade FiX KiT" tool for the Home (+SL) SKU's. Sooner or later we have to add this anyway for future SKU's.
By the way, are you sure MRP has and option for the temp disconnect. I try to find this option to check out the code, but can't find anything.
Code: Tested Windows 11 Home Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.1) [Date 16/11/2023] Reg.exe load HKLM\SOFTHIVE D:\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE" /v "HideWirelessSetupInOOBE" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE" /v "HideOnlineAccountScreens" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f Reg.exe unload HKLM\SOFTHIVE Working.
That looks like a better solution then even the BypassNRO trick. Because who needs to create an Online Account at the Windows installation stage if you can this after the installation. Makes the installation also less complicated.
