Core Viewpoint - Microsoft has removed all options to bypass the login during the Out-Of-Box Experience (OOBE) for Windows 11, requiring all users to log in with an online account to complete the setup process [1][2]. Group 1 - Microsoft has confirmed that in the consumer version of Windows 11, users must create and log in with a Microsoft online account during the OOBE phase to proceed with the installation [1][2]. - Previous methods to bypass the login have been rendered ineffective in the latest builds, specifically in Windows 11 Beta Build 26120.6772 and Windows 11 Dev Build 26220.6772 [2]. - The rationale provided by Microsoft for this change is to ensure that devices are fully configured, as skipping the login could lead to incomplete setups and missing critical screens during OOBE [5]. Group 2 - Microsoft emphasizes that various services, such as Microsoft 365 and OneDrive, require a Microsoft account to function properly, which is why they have enforced this login requirement during OOBE [6]. - Users can still create a local account after logging in with an online account, but Microsoft recommends continuing to use the online account for an enhanced user experience [7].
