Windows OOBE Bypass:

Automated Windows 11 Pro setup with local account and debloating. Sets up my preferred configuration - you'll want to customize the software installations for your needs.

Usage

Quick OOBE Bypass

Already at the Windows setup screen? Press Shift + F10 and run:

curl -L christitus.com/bypass -o skip.cmd
skip.cmd

Skips the entire OOBE including Microsoft account prompts. You can still pick your language, region, and keyboard.

Full Unattended Install

Put autounattend.xml on a USB drive (root directory) before starting Windows installation. It'll handle everything automatically.

Customize Your Own

Use the Schneegans Unattend Generator to create your own config with a simple web interface.
