    Use no@thank.you as the account name, anything as the password. It will say “whoopsie, there was an error” and then you can create a local account.

          Is this a hardcoded opt out or something? Couple of months ago I had to install windows for a friend. I tried to not make a windows account. All the exploits I found, were “patched”. I finally just gave up and made the account. My friend doesn’t care enough about privacy and I don’t care enough about windows for all that effort.

          But, no@thank.you would be awesome.

            I’m not totally sure but I would guess that it’s not hardcoded. Probably just buggy behavior, as is usual for Microsoft.

      Or just anything invalid. I usually do “m” as the username and “m” as the password.

          Hehe. That edition of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. works in Linux through Lutris 😊 Not perfectly, but it works.

            but the installer doesnt cause its written in windows powershell. Had to install a VM just to get the installer to download/unpack the game, then i set up lutris for it.

            Supposedly the next version of the installer is going to use a more agnostic scripting, but i dont know if thats come out yet.

      I don’t know about these workarounds but I remember Win10 has something like “Create for another person” then “I don’t have their info” and it will just let you create a local acocunt. I don’t know about 11 tho
