Install with Local account still working via nobody@nobody.com

jimbo45 · Oct 8, 2023

Hi folks
The old standby of getting a local account at install time still works -account : nobody@nobody.com and enter any password you like.

OOPS - something went wrong

Then click next and it proceeds with local account.

Not sure why this is causing a problem for some who say this isn't working any more -- still does on latest canary and insider release builds.

Select the NEXT button
then you can enter the name of the local user etc.

cheers
jimbo

That's a very useful hint!

Maybe MS makes the method via a fake mailadress unusable some days, but this method will (I guess and hope) stay forever.

I indeed hope that @Brink will make this part of the tutorial.
