Nothing about the MS account does anything about the telemetry. They are separate. I use an MS account (because it was required to get the Win 11 beta through Insider) and all it has done is benefit me. I dont have to ever worry about needing to buy Windows again unless i want to add another machine to my pool. My 3 keys can be tied to any machines i ike. I completely rebuilt my platform. All i had to do was de-auth the now decomissioned machine. I use this MS account for precisley nothing else (i dont use WIndows as a daiy driver).

Its actually sad how IT world keeps changing for the worse. In early 2000s I used to help people fix their PCs as a side job. But over time it became more and more complicated with effects being worse and worse. I fixed one part in a PC that just went out of warranty, and a week later another thing breaks. Things that took 1 hour, required 2 days of work, and no longer guaranteed to solve problems. The same happens to software. Its becoming worse and worse over time, requiring more resources and giving less features. At some point I decided that fixing it just makes no more sense.

Shift + F 10 didn’t even give me the command prompt window before I used the old iso. I even tried, remapping the accessibility button to the command prompt, at which point it pretended that there were no other windows open, and would never mark any of them as active. I even tried using the Narrator screen reader, which will normally allow you to navigate to things unseen, yeah that didn’t work either. So I know they are patching out these work-arounds as fast as they can. Another work-around that is worth tryin: Enter any random email address looking username into the username field along with a password of your choosing, then once in the system, you have the option to switch to a local account and this is where you will need your fake email address and password. So far Microsoft doesn’t require you to verify the email address that you give them.

There's actually a good reason you would not want to bypass the Microsoft Account. At this point in the setup process is when BitLocker gets engaged and the theory of operation is that the recovery key gets backed up to your Microsoft Account in case the machine should become unbootable and you need to access your data. If you do choose to bypass the Microsoft Account requirement, I would double check your C Drive to see if BitLocker is on and turn it off you feel like you need to.

In windows you open updates and click a button and confirm with a "i promise i wont destroy this computer" button.. the moral button as i call it.. and your 8 year old kid uninstall office or something.. windows security.... is great In linux you type a command in terminal and press "confirm" and then type your password and it will update and do everything.. you can watch a stream or shower or whatever while it work.. No reboot requirement but its recommended if its a core update. The only "bug" i have got is that the browser crash when i leave it open and update in the background and when the update is finished and i open a new tab for example it wont work but i only need to restart the browser and its all good again.

But there are still some things it just doesn’t do very well. Gaming for example, the only real reason I still have a Windows machine in my household, but also hardware support can be patchy with more exotic setups. That said I’m about a hair’s breadth from telling Bill Gates to GFHS for good.

If you build PCs often or install Windows regularly on PCs, Look into setting up an answer file. You can automate Windows installs which makes it easier and quicker to setup a bunch of PCs at once. It takes some experimenting and trial and error, but once you get it dialed in right, it can save a lot of time.

i install windows with the erased and deleted "windows 1809" image.. the infamous one that was removed within 12 hours after its release. Its nice to avoid 3000 updates and get one system that is 90% finished.. i can always use my old usb memory that have one of the first versions if i want a super clean system ;) The "1809" iso is the one where it was impossible to skip the pin code creation in the default iso. One guy fixed it by edit a folder setting and i can skip pin code and account creation on it.. I think the backstory around that iso is that they released it and 20% or so of the users got bluescreen so they removed the iso and installed the updates one by one instead.. and they have kept on installing the updates one by one since.. MS have tried to make me overwrite the old usb memory several times, that usb is rare now. Its the one version where you can remove all bloat.. before you update. I think its a 1805 usb memory.

IMO it's WAY more of a prying/security risk having something with a GPS chip and non removable battery, camera and mic that has all your information.

You might also be able to do so if you turn of the WiFi antenna with the laptop keyboard.

In my example i was using majaro with kde last night, and tried to close a program from the taskbar, it closed the program sure, but it also somehow destroyed kde, so now i can't access the terminal or any other programs, so my main options is to reintall kde manjaro, another variant with a different desktop environment, or give up on linux.

I had to do that on my last install. After you're activated, go to accounts and switch to using a local account and sign out.

If you don't remove the account, you'll still be partially signed in. It's a really sneaky trick of Microsoft to keep you partially signed in while using your local account. Edit: When reinstalling Windows, don't delete your old account, install over it. Windows will automatically reactivate you without signing in as long as you don't make too big of hardware changes. You can delete the old account after getting set up through Settings > System > Storage > Cleanup recomendations.

I have also noticed that location icon (target win10-arrow win11) shows only when web browser requests location. Unless you sign in with your MS id, this will happen much more, even while pc is idle. The most likely reason is verification (for updates/time zone/location) data that is collected. YES, even if you turn off "troubleshooting logs". IT's in EULA "as required", under data collection.

I was having so much trouble with my current Win10 install I thought it was about time I did a fresh install. I've installed Windows that many times over the years, I thought I was good to go by downloading the latest ISO and putting on a USB. Nope. Apparently you need some NVME drivers so it can find the drive (apparently IRST drivers). Once I had those on the USB from my computer manufacturer, I was good to go (and yeah I reset the NVME drive too). But when I made the USB, I used a USB creation tool I use to create bootable Linux distros sometimes - I think it was Multiboot (I've got a few). But that had the options to create a local account automatically and bypass all the stupid Windows questions during install. And it was a lot faster than some installs I've done. Even in Win10, there's still the constant nagging of wanting you to login to a microsawft account. You just have to be weiry what option you click on.

But thank you Jay/ You have helped me and so many people with this video. I hope it doesn't get taken down!

There's way more MS spyware than what you unchecked. Unsure if there's any other tool, but I use O&O Shut Up Windows 10 (works on 11 too) to disable all the other stuff. Only downside with the tool is that it doesn't run in the background to re-block if an update flicks it back on.

I remember a few years ago there was a discussion in our government about the government wanting access to all the email accounts of the ISPs. That is, the access of ordinary people like all of us. A few months later there was another discussion in our government and in an interview afterwards one of the MPs was asked what the decision was. He said they had found a solution and didn't need the access data from the providers. They would simply go over to filming the entire desktop. And when I look at the situation today, I can say with certainty that this is also being done. Mobile phones also continuously film the environment and record the sound. It's a good approach without Microsoft. The man has recognised viruses as his golden pig.... All the best to you from Germany

1. Only Home Edition requires MS Account. 2. USB Pendrive with fast write/copy is a lot faster than disc. 3. You will return to the first screen if you keep pressing any key during the "Press any key to boot to CD/USB" window. STOP doing that as it'll just create a loop. 4. Since you are burning the ISO, use Rufus and disable TPM, RAM requirement, secure boot and bypass the microsoft account

@JayzTwoCents you should play with the program NTlite. it's what system builders use. you can make a windows 11 iso that has the old context menus, start button on the left, no windows logon only the programs you want and zero telemetry straight out of the gate before you even install the OS. you can even disable OEM program downloads, install drivers, programs and updates directly to the iso and skip all the bs Microsoft workarounds you just had to do in this video

Either fighting a lot of trouble with MS/Windows, or evade that entirely. That's a good plan. Also penguins are cute.

For those who work with classified files for example for their job: don't forget to disable defender in the register, as the windows virusscanner sends all your fileinfo to their servers. Also make sure to remove the chrome virusscanner (called reporter tool) as that also sends your entire hard drive filesystem to the google servers. It detects more than viruses alone. Logout to Google when possible. Use a VPN.

jay, ethernet actually makes the bypass of the login easier. unplugging the ethernet cable during the sign in process usually lets me bypass the account creation step

they are making it nonsense as forcing people to have ethernet cable and should take help from tech person. as many people use wifi and non-tech guy can't even install it.

While we're on avoiding Microbloat bullying, how do I prevent MS from repeatedly reinstalling Edge? I don't want it partly because I don't trust it even on my drive, not started by me. Note that Win 10 native uninstall function will NOT work if you tell it to uninstall Edge. Blessedly, my primitive machine won't run Win 11.
