Microsoft has blocked the bypass that allowed you to create a local account during Windows 11 setup by typing in a blocked email address(www.tomshardware.com)

I know some folks on the SysAdmin discord mentioned it wasn’t working for them anymore. It also stopped working for me about 2 months ago. (I work in IT and set to up new computers fairly often)

But looking online real quick, several sources including Tom’s Hardware claim it still works. So I’m not sure what’s going on with it. Maybe your milage may vary?

I definitely used it 2 months ago, maybe it changed since then, or maybe it depends on something.

I used it to set up a company laptop less than a month ago.
