You can still force local account.

On setup: Shift + F10 -> click into the CMD window (it opens unfocused)

cd oobe
bypassnro

And do not connect to network until you finish setup.

Disabling auto updates was also very simple and intuitive. Couldn’t be easier.

Meta + R -> Type gpedit.msc and press enter -> On left click Administrative templates -> All settings -> Configure Automatic Updates -> Select option 2, Enabled and Apply

Bypassnro is the old method, no longer working since 24H2. I’ve tested this method on GitHub and it works for normal AND S-mode devices.

Ctrl + Shift + J before selecting secondary keyboard layout (sometimes you need to click on the outside borders of the form so the dev console pops up)

Type this (can use autocomplete): WinJS.Application.restart(“ms-cxh://LOCALONLY”)

Setup with local account

I’m still creating local accounts using the bypass in the auto unattend file.

If a drive is crypto locked and there is only a local account, it might as well be wiped if nobody has a password.
