Windows 10 now hides local account option
Windows 10 now hides the option to create a local account if there is a network connection.

Great feature, let's see if we can implement that in ReactOS as well.

Re: Windows 10 now hides local account option
I install Win10 on a daily basis at work. It's NOT hidden, you just have to click the text left to the button to NOT use a MS account. Or... you remove all LAN connections of course.
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

What would we use as the online account provider? reactos.org accounts?learn_more wrote:Great feature, let's see if we can implement that in ReactOS as well.

This is from Reddit:
Although, some say there is a workaround: leave the password blank; this will cause a local account to be created as passwords are compulsory for microsoft.com accounts:fatherjetson wrote:Flashed with the Download Tool today, and that option was gone at the login screen. Clicked create account, but neither found it there.
This workaround may not last for long, though.scsibusfault wrote:Pro tip, to avoid this- don't enter a password during setup. No password, no security question bullshit. Set one through computer management once you're logged in and it doesn't throw the hint or the recovery prompts.
Some say the option has been just renamed:

Re: Windows 10 now hides local account option
Well if it isn't true completely, then it is still true, trying to add a local user used to be as easy as following the "add a user" link. It isn't any more.

Re: Windows 10 now hides local account option
Just for the record this feature can be re-enabled if you unplug the ethernet cable or remove the Wi-Fi dongles then the offline local account creation would show as normal.

Re: Windows 10 now hides local account option
Made the same think at work, and before reconnect I disable Local Update and put the flow of update to 5%, because without that the Update take all the traffic on WAN and LAN.ImperialSpectre wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2019 1:48 pm Just for the record this feature can be re-enabled if you unplug the ethernet cable or remove the Wi-Fi dongles then the offline local account creation would show as normal.

Re: Windows 10 now hides local account option
I noticed that too. What I ended up doing is downloading the educator's edition, which is the same, but has the "Create Offline Account" button.
