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.

I am setting up a new hp 840 and it got to a point where it's asking me for work email which I don't have. I put in my personal email but it didn't work. How do I bypass this stage?

Yea but once you done that how you get the Internet sorted

Mine shift + F10 doesnt work no cables help and i cant open taskmanager

It doesn't work in Windows 10 setup. Any other ways to bypass it?

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.
