Microsoft Is making it harder to skip the Microsoft account on Windows 11

Looks like Microsoft is tightening things up again. According to The Verge, the company is changing how Windows 11 handles local account setups making it harder for users to bypass the Microsoft account requirement during installation.

For years, people have used simple tricks to skip signing in with a Microsoft account and stick with a local one instead. But with this new update, those workarounds might not work anymore. It’s another move that pushes users deeper into the Microsoft ecosystem, whether they like it or not.

Some users are calling it a security improvement, while others see it as another step toward locking down user control.
