Windows 11 adds auto-recovery, kills offline setup loophole
Briefly

Microsoft is rolling out Quick Machine Recovery (QMR) to Windows Insiders to address issues with unbootable computers caused by problematic security updates. This feature automatically sends the device into the Windows Recovery Environment for diagnostics and targeted remediation by Microsoft. Administrators can configure its functionality while the change enhances security and user experience. Alongside this, Microsoft has also removed the bypassnro.cmd script, which previously allowed users to set up Windows 11 without the internet or Microsoft account, ensuring that all users must now connect during setup.
