MSAPatcher brings back the simplicity of the bypassnro.cmd one-liner, allowing you to bypass the NRO without having to manually add registry keys or deal with complex workarounds. 4 | 5 | This app restores the original method, making it easier than ever to bypass the network requirement during the Windows 11 setup process. Now, you can simply execute a single command instead of dealing with convoluted registry changes. 6 | 7 | **MSAPatcher helps you bypass the network requirement during Windows 11 setup. Choose from two methods:** 8 | 9 | --- 10 | 11 | ## Method 1: Classic BypassNRO (Registry Key Method) 12 | 13 | 1. **Prepare the USB Stick**: 14 | - **Option 1A**: Manually copy `MSAPatcher.exe` and `bypassnro.cmd` to the root of your USB stick. 15 | - **Option 1B**: Run `MSAPatcher.exe` to automatically patch the USB stick (it will copy the necessary files). 16 | 17 | 2. **During Windows Setup**: 18 | - At the "Welcome" screen, **before connecting to the internet/Wi-Fi**, press Shift + F10 to open the Command Prompt 19 | - Switch to the USB drive (`D:` or `E:`). 20 | - Run `bypassnro.cmd`, **choose Option 1** to set the registry key and bypass the network requirement. 21 | 22 | 3. **Restart**: 23 | - After the process finishes, restart the PC (press **Y** when asked). 24 | - After rebooting, you can click the link "I don’t have internet" and continue with the local account installation. 25 | 26 | --- 27 | 28 | ## Method 2: Direct Local Account Creation 29 | 30 | 1. **Run `bypassnro.cmd`** at the "Welcome" screen. 31 | 2. **Choose Option 2** to trigger the local account creation screen directly (only for Windows 11 Home/Pro). 32 | 33 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
