    This is indeed still working. Saved me a lot of time on some laptops. :)

    Shift-F10 when it wants to connect, followed by :
    taskkill /F /IM oobenetworkconnectionflow.exe

    How do you get manage the SysPrep/Audit mode for Home versions if it forces user to login? Can a workaround be integrated vis MSMG Toolkit?

    Press:
    Code:
    CTRL+SHIFT+F3
    at the first OOBE window.

    Tested on a en-us_windows_11_consumer_editions_version_22h2_updated_oct_2022_x64_dvd_8c1e689b.iso Home install.

    i read somewhere that even bypassing microsoft account requirement, windows requires microsoft account sooner or later when connected to the internet. is there validity for this claim? and possible sources if apply.

    Once in a while on home they try it again but you can skip it still.

    TIA

    26100.268 OOBE tests:

    Home/N/HomeSL = exactly the same as with 226x1 (keep the install (or go) offline during OOBE and press Shift+F10 to open a cmd prompt and run "oobe\bypassnro" and you can enter an offline account.

    Professional/Edu = exactly the same as with 226x1 ("setup for work or school" > "Sign in options" > "Domain join" > "Offline account")

    Enterprise (N) = exactly the same as with 226x1, offers the use of an offline account out of the box

    Should i continue this time wasting test? All seems to be the same as it was with 226x1.

    When the oobe ask for the email address, enter "localhost" for both email and password. You'll get an error message and it will ask for the name of the offline account. Works even connected.
