Windows 11 Home requires internet to complete setup, but there’s a workaround

..We tried this on multiple VMs and even on a physical machine and noticed that on the screen prompting users to connect to a Wi-Fi network, there is no “I don’t have internet” option for users to choose from and go ahead with creating a local account. What’s more? Unlike Windows 11 Pro, the “sign-in options” menu on the page succeeding the network connection page does not contain the “Offline account” option, leaving users with no other option but to log into (or create) a Microsoft account. This is the case even when users are not connected to the internet…

..However, here’s where Adam’s simple workaround came in handy, which is both amusing and surprising; When Windows 11 Home prompts users to connect to a network, a simple ‘Alt + F4’ shortcut closes the prompt, and the screen proceeds directly to the local account creation page..

But legal action and the courts might, some day, decide on this legal limbo where the issue lies at the moment.

As I said (in the other forum) anti-paywalls are no different than anti-ads, and ads blockers apps/extensions has won numerous times in courts vs ads companies/newspapers.

Sites make money from ads, tracking… just like newspapers make money from paywall and ads.

As other has said, newspapers can ask readers to register with user/password, TouchID, FaceID…

Microsoft has ever explained why they turn off System Protection each time

Microsoft used to create a restore point with every update. Not anymore.
I think that as a rule it is better to opt-in into features than opt-out.

Windows 10 creates a restore point every 7-10 days.

WUmgr creates a restore point before every update.

No problems or changed settings.

I have installed all KB4023057 in the last years with no ill effects.

New Features in macOS Monterey You’ll ACTUALLY Care About!

[Alex5723]

iOS 15 : “Notify When Left Behind”

The feature is called “Notify When Left Behind” and it’s part of the Find My separation alerts that Apple announced during WWDC21. Whenever you leave an AirTag or device behind the Find My app will alert you, hence the name. In our testing it works well, and you can configure a Trust Location like your home or office where the alerts are automatically disabled…

I was waiting for this feature for years. Had this on my Kickstarter Pebble smartwatch.

It looks like the legality of using the “Bypass Paywalls Clean” application recommended by Alex

I don’t know what ‘Bypass Paywalls Clean’ is. I use ‘Bypass Paywalls’.
I look at Bypass-Paywalls the same as using uBlock Origin to block ads.
I am not in the US and don’t care about US DMCAs.

Alex: Well, yes, I have tried this with FireFox and it works. And it seems so illegal that, just in case, I am going to go right now to the local Police Station and confess.
