How To Skip Microsoft Account During Windows 11 Installation

Описание: In this guide, I’ll outline the methods that still work to bypass the online account and connection requirements for setting up Windows 11.


Skip Microsoft Account with BypassNRO through Registry edit


Open Command Prompt using the “Shift + F10” keyboard shortcut on the region settings page.

Type the following command to modify the Registry to bypass the internet and Microsoft Account requirements, and press Enter:

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f



Type the following command to restart the computer and continue with the local account experience and press Enter:

shutdown /r /t 0

Upon restart, open Command Prompt again using the “Shift + F10” keyboard shortcut on the region settings page.

Type the ipconfig /release command and press Enter to disconnect from the network.




Skip Microsoft Account using JavaScript function to configure OOBE


To set up Windows 11 without a Microsoft account using the JavaScript option, follow these steps:

Open Command Prompt using the “Ctrl + Shift + J” keyboard shortcut to open the Developer Console.

Type the following command to launch the local account creation screen and press Enter:

WinJS.Application.restart("ms-cxh://LOCALONLY")



Press the “Escape” key, but if this action doesn’t close the console, click multiple times anywhere on the screen to dismiss it.

Confirm the name of the local default account on Windows 11.


Skip Microsoft Account by Disabling online account screens on OOBE

You can also use the HideOnlineAccountScreens, which is a specific configuration option used in the operating system installation and deployment process.

To create a local account during the Windows 11 OOBE, follow these steps:

Open Command Prompt using the “Shift + F10” keyboard shortcut to open Command Prompt.

Type the following command to launch the local account creation screen and press Enter:

reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v HideOnlineAccountScreens /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
