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.

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. So I did this to get past that pesky setup bug, but now I can’t access any wifi on my system after the system boot. I’ve tried multiple fixes (my system is essentially demanding I plug an ethernet into the system but I don’t have an ethernet, and have never used an ethernet on it previously.) and i still cannot use any network, wifi isn’t even an option to turn on or off or use a different connection. It’s only ethernet.

Oobe\bypassnro is total **** it doesn't even work It works perfectly fine. Literally just did this on a Lenovo this morning. How did you put it in? I can open the commands but it won't let me type anything Update: Fixed it! I found a reddit thread saying to open the cmd and alt+tab out of and back into it. I can now type!!
