You can still force local account. Edit: nevermind, first sentence of the article:
Well, fuck.
On setup: Shift + F10 -> click into the CMD window (it opens unfocused)
And do not connect to network until you finish setup.
Disabling auto updates was also very simple and intuitive. Couldn't be easier.
Meta + R -> Type gpedit.msc and press enter -> On left click Administrative templates -> All settings -> Configure Automatic Updates -> Select option 2, Enabled and Apply
Bypassnro is the old method, no longer working since 24H2. I've tested this method on GitHub and it works for normal AND S-mode devices.
I'm still creating local accounts using the bypass in the auto unattend file.
If a drive is crypto locked and there is only a local account, it might as well be wiped if nobody has a password.
