Microsoft Just Killed the Last Way to Use Windows Privately - MicroSlop 2026

It’s official: Microsoft has declared war on the Local Account. For years, we’ve used workarounds to bypass the mandatory Microsoft Account sign-in during setup, keeping our data off their cloud servers.
With the latest Windows 11 update, those loopholes are being slammed shut. The "OOBE" bypass? Patched. The network disconnect trick? Blocked. Microsoft is forcing every single user into their data-harvesting ecosystem, whether you like it or not.
In this video, I break down exactly what Microsoft changed, why this is a disaster for your anonymity, and what (if anything) you can still do to fight back.
