Preface#
Recently, when installing Windows 11, I found that the system requires logging in to a Microsoft account. After searching, I learned that starting from version 22H2, Windows 11 no longer displays the "I don't have an Internet connection" option.
After trying various methods online and still unable to skip the login, I wrote this article to record the results after I encountered the pit.
For the convenience of demonstration, all steps in this article are performed in a Hyper-V virtual machine.
So without further ado, let's start the tutorial~

Installing Windows#
There's nothing much to say about this step. There are many related tutorials about installing Windows online. It is worth noting that this tutorial is applicable to the original Windows 11 installation image, and activation is not discussed in this article. If you are using a third-party modified image, this tutorial may not work, but you can try it yourself~
OOBE Phase#
After the installation program completes the release of the Windows image, it will automatically restart and enter the OOBE phase.
At this time, don't rush to click Next, but it's okay if you already did.
Disable Network Adapter#
Press Shift and F10 at the same time to open the command prompt (cmd.exe), and enter devmgmt.msc in the window that appears and press Enter.
This command will open the Device Manager, expand the network adapters, and disable the network-related sub-items.
In my computer, for example, disabling the Intel(R) Wi-Fi 7 BE200 320MHz and Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (18) I219-V items in the red box is sufficient, but if you're unsure, you can disable all of them.
After completing this, close the Device Manager and return to the command prompt.
Enter the Command#
Please make sure that the current directory is C:\Windows\System32, and if it is correct, enter oobe\BypassNRO.cmd and press Enter.
At this point, the system will automatically restart.
Return to OOBE Again#
Next is the normal configuration, just follow your personal preferences~
If everything goes well, you should be able to see the "I don't have an Internet connection" option on the network page. Click on it, and then click the "Continue with limited setup" button.
Next are some personalization settings, just follow your personal preferences~
Re-enable Network Adapter#
Congratulations, I believe that by now you have successfully entered the Windows 11 system. Don't forget to re-enable the network card that you disabled in the Device Manager~
