      I guarantee some smarmy PM said it in Teams when a developer asked this question.

  People with no internet access obviously don’t exist.

    They added telemetry. 100% of responses had internet access.

  When I bought my Windows 11 laptop a month ago, I was able to set up a local account after turning on airplane mode. (I had entered my wifi password in an earlier step since I thought it was just for installing updates.)

  Afaik, it’ll just use a cached login

    What chached login? This is talking about a fresh install on a clean (or wiped clean) drive.

    Where would this be cached on a brand new PC never connected to the internet?

      Ah, I misunderstood. If there’s no Internet, pretty sure it’ll just default to using local. I’m not 100% certain, though, as I’ve not setup a totally offline install in a long time.

        Yeah that has been entirely removed in the Win 11 startup. It does not default to local account.

        You literally have to disconnect internet, open a console window, type in oobe/bypassnro and then reboot. Only then will it default to a local account.

  I travel. My Internet is off until I activate my hotspot. Whatever MD is doing, it ain’t worth it to me. I went all in on Linux (I use PopOS btw) a couple years ago.
