The installation of Windows 11 may require an internet connection to grab a Microsoft ID. This is currently true only for the home addition, but will probably extend to the Pro edition, too. A workaround to bypass the internet connection requirements of the Windows 11 setup has been published that currently works for version 21H2 but may be blocked some time in the future by Microsoft:

A workaround to bypass the internet connection requirements of the Windows 11 setup has been published that currently works for version 21H2 but may be blocked some time in the future by Microsoft:

- When you reach the “Let’s Connect You To A Network” page, type Shift-F10 to open a console window.
- Here you type `taskmgr` to start the Task Manager window so you can see all running processes.
- Expand the Task Manager by clicking the “More Details” button, and then find “Network Connection Flow.”
- Select this process and then hit the “End Task” button.
- Now you can close these newly opened windows and return to the Windows 11 setup, where you will enter local account information.

- Hold the SHIFT key and press F10 to open the command prompt at any moment in the installation process;
- Click on the command prompt window to change the focus to it and type the command `oobe\bypassnro`, and hit ENTER;
- The Windows system will reboot immediately and at next boot the instalator (OOBE) will override the networking requirement.

For Windows 11 version 22H2, the following sequence of actions to use a local account instead of a Microsoft account has been published:

- Enter `[email protected]` (or some other senseless address) as the email address and click `Next` when Windows 11 setup prompts you to log into your Microsoft account.
