Microsoft has removed the ‘BypassNRO.cmd’ script from Windows 11 preview builds, which allowed users to bypass the requirement to use a Microsoft Account when installing the operating system.

This change was introduced in the latest Windows 11 Insider Dev preview build, which means it will likely be coming to production builds.

“We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11,” reads the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26200.5516 release notes.
