Hi, I'm trying to bypass the screen "lets connect you to a network" to install windows 10 on my machine. I've tried 3 different ways as follows: ALT + F4 - My machine just tries to connect to the internet even though I'm not connected to any internet connection. SHIFT + F10 - Open command prompt and type "taskkill /F /IM oobenetworkconnectionflow.exe" but that also makes my machine try to connect to the internet. SHIFT + F10 - Open command prompt and type "taskmgr" that opens taks manager and i end the tast for "Networkconnectionflow, but the machine still tries to connect to the internet. Please can anyone assist what do I do in this situation? Your assistance will be much appreciated.

The fact that one should even have to look this up online is ridiculous. This "fix" is not working for me. It's enough to make me switch to an Apple product. I'm no neophyte when it comes to technology and there is no way that any user at any level of technical expertise should have to look up online how to abort a process which should be seamless. What happened to just allowing a user to click on a red "x" at the top of the right-hand corner of the window. BTW, I tried this and it isn't working. I can't even hit ctrl-alt-delete to get to the taskmgr screen. This is BS.

Hi, I am currently experiencing the same issue. When i opened the cmd and typed in OOBE\BYPASSNRO it said it was invalid

Did you try using an external keyboard?

Oobe\bypassnro is total **** it doesn't even work It works every time on the ones I do. It only adds the option to use "I don't have access to the internet" during the initial setup process.

When you are in the command prompt just type: OOBE\BYPASSNRO

Press enter and it will restart the device. At the next setup will give you the option to click "I don't have internet" and bypass the network connection.
