So? what's the problem? do you need/want a password?

That's how I do clean installs, I don't need a password, at least not at first.

Then when I need to add an MS account, be it Mail or the WIP, I chose for 'apps only'

Skip the password! click next instead

You end up with a local account admin without password, straight to desktop

You can change all that later if you want

The problem is that it skipped the password without asking. 🤔

What security questions? I've never seen that.

Are you talking about a clean install? the installation routine doesn't know who you are, unless you chose to use your email address instead of an offline account.

Yes, clean install.

After entering the offline username, it asks for a password which I usually set, after that 3 security questions in case you forget the password. It has been doing that for years. 😉

When I used the MS 22579 on the USB stick it skipped all that and created an offline ID without password.

edit: wonder if there's a way to capture the screens in DOS mode? so I can show you.
