    Creating a local account on a clean install of Windows 11 currently requires disconnecting ethernet during setup, a secret keyboard shortcut to open a command prompt, and entering a special command. I’ll be surprised if this workaround doesn’t go away in the near future, too.

      That is only true for the home edition.

      All the other versions it is just 2 extra clicks to setup a local account.

      And if you use Rufus, it is just a checkbox.

      Yep exactly what i stated, you can create local accounts. It’s dumb you have to do the work around, i agree with that.
