Windows is really pushing people to sign into a microsoft account

[nzoomed]

With the recent updates, im seeing more and more instances of windows asking to sign into a Microsoft without any apparent way to skip the process.
Ive found in the past you can just click on skip, but now im seeing that those options are unavailable. One workaround is alt+f4 or alt+ctrl+del and close the prompt, but as usual people are inadvertently registering a Microsoft account and forgetting their passwords, sigh...

Would be great if there was some way to block this from happening by means of the registry or potentially blocking through the hosts file, etc
