Has Microsoft started locking local user accounts?

I mean, actually locking them, not just preventing them from being created.

[–] hylobates@jlai.lu 9 points 2 months ago (24 children)

Preventing their creation on newly installed computers. No workaround as of now.

No workaround?

That is incorrect.

There are plenty of workarounds, here are a two:

  • Use an older installer, create a local account and update.
  • Install Windows 10 with a local account and upgrade.

I am all for bashing Windows, but please argue facts, not imaginations.

OK, no workaround un Win11.

But that's beside the point: what about un 3 months? 2 years?

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

There have been several workarounds in Windows 11 posted in this thread.

Everytime M$ pulls the ratchet tighter more people will escape, just let it happen naturaly.

Advice about the alternatives, but don't lie about either side.

There are things that Windows does better than the competition, the vice versa, be honest and argue in good faith.
