According to Microsoft, the new Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22557 cannot be installed using a local account. To install it, you will need to be connected to the Internet and sign in to a previously registered Microsoft work account, even if this version of the OS is used for local use.
The assembly is distributed as part of the Windows Insider program. It contains a large number of fixes and improvements. True, there are bugs. For example, during the initial setup, a window with a choice of network settings may not appear. Then you need to go in dialog mode to enter the computer name parameter and reboot the device. From the second time, the network connection setting will appear.
The developers did not explain why it was from this version that they decided to refuse installation through a local account, but only with the help of a Microsoft work account. It is also not a fact that this part of the Windows 11 test update will reach the release stable build of the OS in the near future.
Previously, before the release of Windows 11, in test builds of the new OS, users were able to bypass the Internet connection requirement to complete the installation by closing the window at that moment. Then they found out that if you press the “Alt + F4” combination on the dialog with the requirementer the online account, it will simply close and the installation will continue. The user will only be asked to set up a local account. Now this trick won't work for Windows 11 Pro either.
In January 2022, Microsoft stated that Windows 10 and 11 devices must be connected to the network for at least eight hours in order to receive the latest updates and install them correctly from Windows Update. The time that Windows-based devices are connected to Windows Update is tracked by Microsoft as "Update Connection". If this indicator is less than 8 hours, then, according to the calculations and statistics obtained by Microsoft developers, user devices will not be able to successfully update.
Bypass the regular requirement of Windows 11 Home Internet connection to complete the installation
Another way to avoid the requirement to connect to the Internet when installing Windows 11: when the network settings dialog box appears, press "Shift + F10" and run CMD, then run the taskmgr command in the task manager perform the "end task" action on the "OOBENetworkConnectionFlow.exe" process ".
