| Skip the Microsoft account login and quickly enter the Windows desktop when powering on my computer for the first time |
When a computer running Windows 11 Home is powered on for the first time, the computer must be connected to a network to enter the system by default. For details, see Configuring the Windows 11 computer when powered on for the first time. If your computer cannot connect to the network or is stuck on the network connection screen, perform the following steps to forcibly skip the network connection step.
- Do not register a local account as the super administrator account (Administrator) after you skip the network connection. Do not use Administrator as the name of a local account.
- After the network connection is skipped, Windows cannot properly sync time. As a result, the system log or timestamp is earlier than the current operation time. This does not indicate a product quality issue. For details, see Sync your Windows computer time to Internet time.
