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.

    This was exactly what I needed. My laptop didn't have WiFi drivers in the Win 11 install and I don't have an external WiFi adapter to plug in. Thank you!

    I used the ISO image downloaded from the Microsoft site .

    I did not have all the keys on the keyboard active .

    I was able to hit the keys Shift+F10 and use cmd command OOBE\BYPASSNRO

    I had to use accessibility options to activate the keyboard

    my language is french

    and

    the layout of the keyboard keys is "french"

    I used the virtual keyboard and the command

    OOBE\BYPASSNRO

    After the restart a link is added so that you do not have to log in during the installation .

    Thanks you it worked for me .

    After that the problems continued when opening Windows 11. After starting Windows and some research in the Settings I found two activated functions which pose a problem since after having deactivated these functions the keyboard works and according to the methods that these functions induce.

    Those are sticky keys and filter keys

    Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard

    This no longer works for windows 10 or 11. With 10, bypassnro does not exist. With 11, it executes but the "I don't have internet" does not show up.
