Microsoft accidentally lists the benefits of not using a Microsoft account on Windows 11 - eviltoast
Using a local account on Windows 11 has its benefits, as explained by Microsoft on accident.
  • Microsoft inadvertently highlighted the benefits of using a local account over a Microsoft account on Windows 11 in a recent support page update.
  • Using a local account allows for offline sign-in, is independent of cloud services, and limits settings, files, and applications to a single device, enhancing privacy.
  • Despite these benefits, Microsoft requires internet access or workarounds for the initial setup of Windows 11, making it challenging to use a local account from the start.

    Are you talking about the Support article, or this WindowsCentral article?

    Because I would say that’s true of both.

    This article is heavily inflated/extended with pablum that could come straight from Copilot, and frankly, it seems more concerned with listing the benefits of a Microsoft account than reporting on the support article.

    It’s AI junk all the way down.
