I’ve been around windows since XP or earlier than that and I have not seen anything like this in the Windows 10 or Windows 11 environment. Take a look at the screenshot. No matter how I boot the system. This is the screen I get I don’t use ethernet and I don’t want a network account as the first account I want the local account.. I can invoke window system 32 command prompt and work with that but I don’t see a way to actually reboot them and get a new user account or anything normal. I get the screen every time.

In the command prompt type OOBE\BypassNRO
(all one command, no spaces)

The PC will reboot, and the next time you see that screen it will have a link at the bottom for 'I don't have internet'.
