Windows 11
I'm setting up Windows 11 and I tried the oobe/bypassnro command after pressing Shift + F10 to open command prompt. The command didn't work. Apparently oobe is not a function or something anymore. So I tried ending the Network Connection Flow task in Task Manager. That also did not work. I can just tether my phone, but I'm worried that explorer.exe might start crashing again, and someone had mentioned that they thought this was because of OneDrive (Link). I thought that if I set everything up offline, OneDrive wouldn't be an immediate issue, and I could disable all the OneDrive stuff because I don't use it anyway.

Thank you!

11 will force a local account on an offline setup. I had to reinstall, because the offline account messed up my online setup.

For us old guys that used MS-DOS, we learned that / is for adding parameters to a command and \ is to specify a directory (aka folder). The command essentially tells to execute file bypassnro in folder oobe which I think is inside the System32 or the Windows folder.
