Microsoft Removes Script That Allows Users to Install Windows 11 Without an Internet Connection
Microsoft has announced that it has removed a loophole in new Windows 11 builds that allowed users to install the OS without an internet connection. Now users will still have to create an account to complete the setup.
We are talking about the bypassnro command line, which allows you to skip the requirement to create an account. Microsoft said that it removed the script due to security measures:
We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance the security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account.
According to Windows Central, users still have other workarounds in stock. However, they will require even more effort, and there is no guarantee that Microsoft will not get rid of these methods in the future.
Earlier, a new tool was discovered in test builds of Windows 11 that analyzes the PC hardware. With its help, users will receive optimization tips.
