Microsoft has reinforced its requirement for Windows 11 users to connect to the internet and log in with a Microsoft account during the device setup process. In the latest Insider Preview, the well-known bypass script, bypassnro.cmd, has been removed to enhance security and improve the user experience. Although some workarounds seem possible temporarily, such as registry edits and unattended.xml automation for IT setups, these may not be viable for long. This change aligns with Microsoft's broader push for users to transition from Windows 10, which ceases support soon.
We're removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account.
Microsoft has been making it harder for people to upgrade to Windows 11 while also nudging them to move on from Windows 10, which will lose support in October.
