I gave it a try to this Java procedure and faced the same issue as "Shift + F10", it was not accepting "Ctrl + Shift + J" either

@hsehestedt a key step was missed.
Inorder for the keybind to work, you cannot be focusing on the button selection.

I like to click on the graphic on the left of the screen to shift the focus. THEN I press the keys for it to work.

Edit:
I have not tested this yet on latest canary as of present, this is just from my documentation.
It works on almost any screen not only the keyboard screen. I just say to do it there to at least have region and keyboard set correctly

@dacrone make sure to update your guide for this too. Ill probably remake my youtube video with your steps.

If you want, test to see if my method works with OSK, i have seen a few people with non-US keyboards have issues. With writing the command

So an update from me using canary:

Javascript method still works on latest canary just fine. Also gave it a test with OSK and it works, need to open OSK then click the graphic and then ctrl shift J.

Bypassnro method still works fine (when run before network connection) but as previously mentioned, cmd did not launch after the first boot. I had to reset my vm before cmd could open. I didnt have this problem with Javascript method tho as this runs directly in the oobe.

I also tried some other methods like disabling my network adaptor with ncpa.cpl while checking for updates, that still works.

I know this is an old thread, but I do want to confirm that OOBE /Bypassnro still works

The command was oobe\bypassnro, but it has been removed from latest canary 27871.

This command below still works with latest Canary build 27871. I just tried it.

start ms-cxh:localonly

Not sure what the current Windows version is on the Media Creation Tool, but I done a clean install on one of my PCs today and the oobe worked. . . If I have to, I'll switch to Windows X-Lite (I already have it on one of my PCs). There will always be a workaround to bypass the internet part. Someone will come up with something. I hate using MS Accounts for my computer. I've always used local, and that's what i'm used to. I'm sure there are others like me. I can always use Rufus, too!

Yes, it works on current public Build 26100.xxxx, but not on Canary Build 27871.1000.

MS removed that option.
For now, there are other ways to install with Local Account and without Internet.
As I said earlier the command below still works.

start ms-cxh:localonly

There are other ways that also work still, so rest assured that, at least for now, all is still good.

Bypass Windows 11 System Requirements on Unsupported PC

This tutorial will show you how to bypass the Windows 11 CPU, RAM, Secure Boot, and TPM 2.0 system requirements allowing you to clean install or upgrade to Windows 11 on a unsupported PC that doesn't meet these requirements. Installing Windows 11 on a device that does not meet Windows 11...

No, I already wasted too much time on this silly problem and found a simple workaround.
I'll wait for the next MS Official Canary ISO. Hopefully they will fix the problem.

Yeah. me too. I'm trying (and trying and trying) and finally gave up. My goal was pretty modest. Install 2H24 26100.4349, which is an ISO file created by the Media Creation Tool. I wanted to create an absolutely "pristine" VM, so I did not set up any network adapter.

I have tried at least 4-5 of the methods in this thread, starting with OOBE /bypassnro. I have spent almost all day doing this. So now it's time to rethink my goals for this install, and accept the reality that I will need to do a connection to my host machine and then on to the internet. To be clear, I'm not an IT professional. so stuff that may be obvious to some people here is not obvious to me. That said, I'm hardly a noob. See my "appreciation" post in the General Forum.

The "start ms-cxh:localonly" method worked flawlessly for me on August 8th. You might want to try that one. I didn't even disconnect from the internet. It'll bypassed that whole MS account thing easily. This was done in a new computer. Good luck.

It was oobe\bypassnro, you show the wrong syntax with "oobe /bypassnro". Wrong extra space and / instead of \.

Anyway, if you have a build where that command has been removed. there are other commands that can be used.
I tried the latest Canary Build 27924 and "start ms-cxh:localonly" still worked fine.

See also post #267.

Yes, the correct syntax is:

oobe\bypassnro

without spaces and with \

You are welcome. By the way, after you type the code (start ms-cxh:localonly), in the Command prompt, and Click Enter, the installation goes right away to the Window where you create the Local account. No reboot, so it works fast.

Yes, first time I tried it skipped most of OOBE questions. Nevermind, you can configure them from Settings in the Privacy section later.
