Had to do a re-install today, I could no longer make a " \ " in the command prompt when you hit Shift+F10 and type the command OOBE\BYPASSNRO to force a local account creation; you have to use the "Alt+92" to get the " \ "character.

Microsoft are pure scumbags lol.

Use a third-party tool to create your bootable USB and disable the account creation requirement, then disconnect from the Internet at installation time.
Worked for me.

Those features are almost 3 decades old.......... yes that's technically correct that those features now work "perfectly fine", but this isn't the own that you think it is.

Its not a own. It was well known on launch that Win11 start was broken (mostly local indexing was broken so you got web results over local results). But people latch onto a bug like it was a feature (including one guy in this thread thinking there's a distinction between being on and offline) and 18 months after launch still think its an issue.

ISO download is the way to go
Media creation tool doesn't download 23H2

OOBE\BypassNRO.cmd works as usual

Nah, this can't be used as a violation (MS, governments, hackers, ect.) on infringing on citizens' privacy without any warnings all in the name - "to help/aid/protect the user(s) from themselves", eh?!

There's always that one guy
