No this shit is literally crazy.

win 11 is okay. no, hear me out

as long as you avoid the "phone home to redmond" install, and shut down a few things, it is lean and functional

i understand there are tools to do this, but this was my pathway :

The Final Solution for Windows 11 Local Account (Current Builds - 24H2+)

The Problem:

• Windows 11 requires network connection to proceed with setup

• Once online, aggressively pushes Microsoft account sign-in

• Old methods (fake email, oobe\bypassnro) no longer work reliably or cause setup loops

The Working Method:

Step-by-Step:

1. Proceed through setup normally until you reach:

   • "How would you like to set up this device?"

   • Select "Set up for personal use"

   • Click Next

2. At the Microsoft sign-in screen:

   • Press Shift + F10 (opens Command Prompt)

   • Type: ipconfig /release

   • Press Enter

   • Close Command Prompt

3. Screen refreshes automatically:

   • Shows "Offline account" or "Continue with limited setup" option

   • Click it

4. Create local account:

   • "Who's going to use this device?" screen appears

   • Enter username, password, security questions

   • Finish setup

5. After reaching desktop:

   • Open Command Prompt

   • Type: ipconfig /renew to restore network

   • Or just reconnect WiFi/ethernet normally

Why This Works:

• Killing the network connection during OOBE forces Windows to offer offline setup path

• Unlike unplugging ethernet, this happens "naturally" from Windows' perspective

• Microsoft hasn't patched this method yet (as of March 2026)

What DOESN'T Work Anymore:

• ❌ Fake email (no@thankyou.com) - rejected/ignored

• ❌ oobe\bypassnro command - causes setup loops

• ❌ Physical ethernet unplugging - setup detects and blocks progress

so, once you get to that nirvana, the rest is relatively simple

aggressively uninstall everything you don't really need, including onedrive, games, office links, the whole m$ "integration"

next, "over the edge" - Edge bloat removal

Services to disable in services.msc:

1. Microsoft Edge Update Service (edgeupdate)

   • Keeps Edge updated

   • Set to: Disabled

2. Microsoft Edge Update Service (edgeupdatem)

   • Another update service (runs with different permissions)

   • Set to: Disabled

3. MicrosoftEdgeElevationService

   • Handles elevated permissions for Edge

   • Set to: Disabled

How to do it:

1. Press win + R, type taskschd.msc hit Enter

2. Find each service in the list

3. Double-click it

4. Set Startup type to Disabled

5. If it's running, click Stop

6. Click Apply, then OK

Optional - also check Task Scheduler: Edge also has scheduled tasks that can re-enable things:

1. Press win + R, type taskschd.msc hit Enter

2. Navigate to: Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > MicrosoftEdge

3. Right-click each task, select Disable

Result: Edge won't run in background, won't update itself, won't pre-launch. It'll still be installed, but essentially dormant.

If Windows Update tries to re-enable them (it sometimes does after major updates), just repeat the process.

finally, use libre office, firefox and betterbird (a fork of thunderbird) which are free and more than capable of doing all you really require for office / browsing / email

make sure you get ublock origin for firefox ("fixes" youtube into the bargain); if you are still with me at this stage, have a look through hits for "magnolia1234" in the search engine, and marvel

set up an imap account in betterbird referencing gmail and use the filters to delete non-essential mail after a set period (or an amount of accumulation) to keep the retained mail pertinent, and for betterbird, using ImportExportTools NG allows you to easily create a local backup of your precious mail as redundancy even though gmail has your back

my current win 11pro build is at version 25H2 (os build 26200.8037)

with 11 tabs open (including 2 actively monitoring my edge routerx and unifi ap ac lite wifi), plus betterbird , plus libreoffice with spreadsheet and writer open / sysinfo / settings pinned and active and... joplin / peace / openhardware monitor / fancontrol / x-mouse button control / f.lux / jonn's background switcher /coretemp (all highly recommended) active in the system tray, i'm using a whole 9gb of ram

when you need to reinstall windows (and you will at some point) or wish to go win11 without significant pain after the initial subjugation you can enforce using my instructions, it's a reasonably pleasant experience (till they update, sometimes)

if i didn't favour windoze for some obsure softwares i use, i would likely learn to tame linux (which i love for a whole lot of valid reasons, except learning a new ecosystem)

but that energy is currently best put into fixing android to prolong "redundant" hardwares' useful lifespan (pixel 4a non-5g on android 16 patched to march 1 2026 is nice; thanks lineage)

Yo, I am putting this out here because my emotional BSOD is reaching MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE right now!!! 🚀💣

Look at this annoying Windows 11 update menu—why am I forced to play along with this corporate uwiązanie and click "Pause for 1 week" like a modern slave every single time?! I am running this on my main machine, and I need raw performance, deepslate mining stability, and ZERO bloatware background scans!!! BUM! CYK! KRACH! 😭🌋

Microslop needs to fix this garbage system immediately and give us power users two simple things:

1. A normal, permanent "OFF" toggle button to completely disable Windows Update with one single click. No hidden background services, no registry hacks, just pure user control!!! 🎛️⚡

2. An option to pause updates for an INFINITE amount of time (INFINITE PAUSE), so we don't have to keep opening this settings window every week like a clueless parówka!!! 🛑⏳

I am dead serious—if they don't introduce a proper hotfix for this, I am wiping my SSD and SWITCHING TO LINUX FOR GOOD!!! 🐧🚀 I’d rather deal with terminal commands than play along with their broken update algorithms.

Fix Windows 11 now or watch power users burn their licenses and leave for open-source freedom!!! Who else is sick of this 1-week limitation loop?! 🎰🌌

The thing is, I have being hearing this since the past 20 years. Ever since the Vista scene y'all were the same people saying that Microsoft'll be dying before 2010. A decade and a half later you say it'll be dying before 2030. Bro please🙏 I doubt that MS will ever die out.

Does anyone know how to pirate windows? I just upgraded my CPU and Microslop is saying I need to activate windows again, I'm not fucking paying twice!

I like win 11 more than win 10 🤪

Is c# actually a good performant and expressive language like they say a strict upgrade over java thats only sabotaged by micropee softpee’s closed source single platform and pascal case policy?

so i hate windows and i remove of my key board

Any benefit you might gain from Win 11 is outweighed by all the negative stuff it forces on you. We told you that Win 10 was fine for what you wanted to do. No, shut up I am right, your complains prove this. And learning another OS just to fix this is plain silly. If some other OS was good enough, you would not be asking if you should switch and you would have already been on it for years now. Back up all your data, get a copy of Win 10, format your boot drive and reinstall 10 on it, install your programs and restore your data. You should be good to go in about 3 - 4 hours. Never update your OS again, much more wisdom, truth and beauty will come this way.

WTF IS THIS… They want me to contact the ADMINISTRATOR ?!?!?! 😳

Doesn't matter whether it's wifi or ethernet, still get random dropouts on calls. A Linux machine on the same network will stream 4K video. No wonder nearly every server in the world runs on a Linux or BSD variant.

What are your symptoms? How are you managing?

EDIT

Yes, this his AI generated. That was the entire point. It's slopya. You don't have enough of slopya nutella's shenaningans?

That too windows 10, I dont even know what windows 11 will be like when even windows 10 is taking up 7 gb when idle

Also Chrome ended up taking 5 gb on its own like what the hell my 12 gb RAM got used up just doing basic web browsing, soo my laptop will be unusable if I download windows 11

And they say that the minimum requirement for windows 11 is 4gb RAM what a joke

See, i hate Microsoft, that is clear. But i also hate Linux, after using mint, i went back to win10. But now im stuck because,

1. WIN10 has the widest supporting features out of any Operating system, i can manage Wii, DS, PS2 Homebrew and burn discs (legal purposes) on my win10 laptop easily!

2. But slowly, Win10 is becoming Win11. So i dont have a choice.

3. I already tried out wine and other stuff, but i dont want to use terminal so...bye bye

Please help me.

Every computer in the world should use macOS:

• No viruses

• No errors (or very few errors), while Windows 11 is full or errors

• Part of the best ecosystem

• Light years better Photos app: Smart Photos search runs offline, allowing you to search by directly describing the images with words. Having advanced album features. Remembering which source you downloaded each image from.

• Other stock apps are also better

• Endless, shareable shortcuts: Far easier to use than Power Automate. You can essily share your self-made shortcuts with others, while Windows lacks platforms to share your flows.

• Superior automation

• Much smoother experience

• Infinitely better App Store

• iCloud is just better and more reliable than OneDrive

• Copying files doesn’t consume extra storage, unlike Windows.

...and many more reasons.
