Are you frustrated that Windows 11 forces you to sign in with a Microsoft account during installation? You are not alone. In this guide, I will show you the definitive “Rufus Fix” to completely remove the online account requirement and set up a local user account right from the start.
By using a specific, hidden feature in the Rufus USB tool, you can create a bootable Windows 11 installation drive that bypasses the “Let’s connect you to a network” screen and the mandatory Microsoft sign-in. This is the safest, fastest, and easiest way to get a clean Windows install without needing internet access or an outlook email. In this video, you will learn:
• How to download the official Windows 11 ISO.
• The exact settings to use in Rufus to enable the bypass.
• How to check the “Remove requirement for an online Microsoft account” toggle.
• A walkthrough of the Windows setup proving the local account fix works. Stop using complicated command prompt hacks or unplugging your ethernet cable. Use this simple Rufus method for a hassle-free installation.
