+--- Thread: New method to use Local account on windows 11 (/showthread.php?tid=4412)
New method to use Local account on windows 11 - nzoomed - 20-10-2025
Microsoft have yet again clamped down on previous methods to create local accounts during installation.
Here is another method to get around this, it involved more steps unfortunately, but at least its possible.
How long before M$ disable this entirely?
I will go linux the day that they make it impossible to use a local account.
Here is a good video from Linus on the subject.

i'm still using start ms-cxh:Localonly - still works for me, but always good to have options

Watched this tonight. A bit above my pay grade but I've now rolled back to W10 as a result.

Yeah, I have not run into it yet but have a few new installs I will be doing soon.
Also found this video, looks like he has made a script you can run.
