We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance 
security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all 
users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account.
</qp>

cf.
<https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2025/03/28/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-26200-5516-dev-channel/>

The change in 24H2 noted in above Insider article eliminates the no 
internet connection(i.e. ethernet not connected, wifi disabled via router 
etc.) method.
  - the current discussion in the Enterprise community appears to 
indicate this change removes the build code(script) in Windows 24H2 that 
calls the  registry values that permitted use of the 'no internet 
connection' for creating a local account => script removed, registry 
values remain intact
  - that same discussion also indicates that other methods may still be 
available.
  a. the one noted earlier(choose domain option route) in this thread for 
Pro/Enterprise/Edu SKU's

  b. the possibility of command line approach by manually entering the 
following commands to achieve the same functionality as the now-removed 
script
  reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v 
BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
  shutdown /r /t 0

  c. Pausing setup at the Secondary Layout Screen and use the Developer 
Console(entering a restart command and executing the command), exit the 
Developer Console to a refreshed Secondary Layout Screen with the Win10- 
style Local Account setup option
   WinJS.Application.restart("ms-cxh://LOCALONLY")

Note: yymv if MSFT, in the future, if code changes to Windows 11 24H2 
removes the ability for any or all the above methods(a, b, c)
