Microsoft Patches Windows 11 Bypass for Microsoft Account Login

The latest Windows 11 Dev Channel preview build removes the bypassnro.cmd script, previously allowing users to circumvent the mandatory Microsoft account login requirement. Microsoft states this change enhances security and ensures all users sign in with a Microsoft account while online. This will inconvenience users who prefer offline setup or local accounts, though Microsoft accounts offer benefits like easy access to subscriptions and data syncing. Local accounts, however, reduce notifications and upsells.
