Bypass latest Windows 11 OOBE

README

This guide explains two ways to run the bypass_oobe.bat script during the Windows 11 OOBE (Out-of-Box Experience) screen:
	1.	Using Explorer (easiest)
	2.	Using CMD (Shift+F10)

No PowerShell required.

⸻

What the script does:
	•	Bypasses the Windows 11 OOBE network requirement
	•	Creates a local administrator account
	•	Removes or disables defaultuser0
	•	Marks OOBE as fully completed
	•	Disables OOBE scheduled tasks
	•	Deletes OOBE executables so OOBE cannot return
	•	Reboots automatically when done

Requirements:
	•	A USB drive
	•	The file bypass_oobe.bat copied onto the USB drive
	•	A Windows 11 installation stuck at an OOBE screen

⸻

METHOD 1: Using Explorer (recommended)
	1.	Copy bypass_oobe.bat onto a USB drive.
	2.	Boot Windows until you reach the OOBE screen (for example: “Let’s connect you to a network”).
	3.	Press Shift + F10 to open Command Prompt.
	4.	In the CMD window, type: explorer
	5.	Explorer will open.
	6.	In the left sidebar, click “This PC”.
	7.	Open the USB drive.
	8.	Double-click bypass_oobe.bat.
	9.	The script will run and reboot the system automatically.

After the reboot, Windows will skip OOBE and log directly into the new local administrator user.

⸻

METHOD 2: Using CMD (no Explorer)
	1.	Copy bypass_oobe.bat onto a USB drive.
	2.	Boot Windows until the OOBE screen appears.
	3.	Press Shift + F10 to open Command Prompt.
	4.	Type: diskpart
	5.	Type: list volume
	6.	Identify your USB drive letter (for example D: or E:).
	7.	Type: exit
	8.	Switch to the USB drive, for example: D:
	9.	Type: dir to verify the file is present.
	10.	Run the script: bypass_oobe.bat
	11.	Allow the script to finish. The system will reboot automatically.

⸻

After reboot:
	•	OOBE will be disabled
	•	defaultuser0 will be removed or deactivated
	•	The system will boot into the created local admin account
	•	No Microsoft account or network is required

Notes:
	•	Do not close CMD or Explorer while the script is running.
	•	CMD during OOBE runs elevated, so no extra permissions are needed.
	•	The script works on Windows 11 ARM, x86, and x64 builds, including strict OOBE versions.
