Microsoft accidentally lists the benefits of not using a Microsoft account on Windows 11 - eviltoast
  • 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.

      The few times I watched the update round-up it was short amd to the point for each feature they reported on.
      And no it’s my genuine opnion. BUT I watch them rarely so it may have changed since the last time.
