They break whatever process people use whenever they feel like it.
Whether the loopholes are incompetence or just for the sake of them being able to claim "you don't need an account", they definitely aren't stable and consistent options. And it's pretty clear that at some point they're going to cross the line and just make you have an account.
What? Ctrl+F10 for Command Prompt and then oobe\bypassnro has always worked, and I don't see Microsoft removing it anytime soon. Who do you think put the bypassnro.bat script in the OOBE directory on every Windows installation media?

This title makes me decide never to upvote any post linking to pcgamer site. And never site the site of course.
But then how is Microsoft going to subscription service us to death?
I only keep twitter installed so I can check service outages.
Why do I need a twitter account to do that?
and at the same time he only lets you use twitter with an account and killed thirdparty apps on mobile.
Can't believe I have to agree with this asshole for once.
Also, can't you just use pGina or GPO in place of a Microsoft account?
Who uses Windows 11 anyway? I've personally been running Linux since 2017, and rarely have to touch Windows these days.
