    Use no@thank.you as the account name, anything as the password. It will say "whoopsie, there was an error" and then you can create a local account.

    Windows will display a "Let's connect you to a network" or similar screen. The upcoming Windows 11 version 22H2 does not allow you to skip this anymore to create a local account.

    Pro tip: You can hit space tab space tab... to quickly cycle through them all.

    Bill hasn't been associated with Microsoft decisions in like 15 years. Yes he still owns a shit load of the company, but he's not the CEO, he doesn't even sit on the board. He sits in his 16,000 square foot lakefront Medina, WA mansion and gets richer.

    Edge would ALWAYS get on the way with its stupid search bar widget. They tried to improve their shitty outdated piece of crap internet explorer that nobody was using and they ended up with a modern shitty piece of crap that is edge.
