  Well, actually *Microsoft* gives a fuck, because after a recent
Windows 11 update, I *again* got an install-like UI (which enticed you
to subscribe to all kinds of services, which I of course declined) which
required an MSA to continue. The (full-screen) UI could not be exited
and I did not want to force a shutdown. In the end I chose a
'Back'function and *there* it presented the option to continue with a
local account.

  Bottom line: Again more of the familiar Microsoft tricks to say/imply
that an MSA is mandatory and again hidden tricks to evade that
requirement.

  FWIW, new (July 27) laptop with Windows 11 Home. 'winver' says:

Version 21H2 (OS Build 22000.856)

(Let me know if you need more version info (and how to get it) for your
Secret Decoder Ring.)
