Windows 11 Microsoft no longer forces a Microsoft account

Yes, in the 2025 update, Microsoft has allowed Home Edition users to create a local account during initial setup, without requiring them to sign in with a Microsoft account.

Looks like OP is from the EEA (European Economic Area); this could be due to some of the privacy and software freedoms the EU provides. That or, since they seem to be French specifically, if I'm picking the language correctly, it could be a response to the push the French government's been making to move away from Microsoft and into digital sovereignty era (at least for the government itself).

Just bypass it , when it gets to the Internet page of setup, in command"  prompt enter "OOBE\BYPASSNRO" and hit enter, the page will restart, and click on " I don't have Internet " continue with setup

Boot from the Windows 11 installation media or start the upgrade process.

I recently Reinstalled Windows 11 Home it forced me to the Microsoft Account. Maybe ur WIFI cutout when the account page loaded leading to local account to be available

Or you could be running a Modified Windows Copy like Tiny11.

Hi, I would be careful calling it an official global change from one reinstall.

The Windows 11 setup experience can vary depending on build, edition, region, network state, OEM image, and whether setup detects internet during OOBE. Microsoft has also changed this flow several times, so behavior on one install does not always mean the requirement has been removed for every stable-channel user.

The best way to confirm is to note the exact Windows 11 build, ISO/source, edition, region, and whether the device was online during setup. Then compare that with Microsoft's release notes or known OOBE behavior for that build. For business deployments, I would still plan around documented provisioning methods like Autopilot, provisioning packages, or local account policy rather than relying on an OOBE screen that may change again.
