I had to replace my 2022 device recently and it has the winver 24h2 on. I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't hold settings such as changing the device name or gpedit changes. I ran across an article talking about changing account settings so I checked at lo and behold, many of the personal user settings that make a computer "yours", is greyed out, unless you create a MS account. I don't want an online account. I want my device to be mine and my stuff is mine, not microsoft's. I have a dedicated linux box but use windows for other things. Is there any work around to access personal settings without an online account? I mean, I don't tell my car dealer where I drove my car...
