Is there any way to bypass the Microsoft Account requirement on 10X? The closest I managed to get to is an empty login screen.

At the very first setup screen, press Shift + F10 to open CMD
Open regedit
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE
Right-click the OOBE folder, create a 32-bit DWORD, and name it SkipMachineOOBE
Double-click it and set it to 1
Create another DWORD in the same folder and name it SkipUserOOBE
Double-click it and set it to 1
Close regedit, type ‘wpeutil reboot’ in CMD, and restart

Nope, doesn't work!

I'll try to re-flash the FFU (it seems to encrypt all the partitions during the OOBE, so I can't just modify the system files without doing that), then do the BCPE to get a command prompt and use that to completely bypass the OOBE and create the user account.

All pre-2023 Secure Boot certificates (issued in 2011) will begin expiring in June — to check if you have the 2023 certificate, run powershell -Command “if (Get-SecureBootUEFI -Name ‘SecureBoot’) { $cert = Get-SecureBootUEFI -Name ‘EFI_SIGNATURE_LIST’ -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue; if ($cert -match ‘Microsoft Windows UEFI CA 2023’) { ‘True’ } else { ‘False’ } } else { ‘Not Supported’ }” as an administrator. (if it outputs True, then you have the 2023 certificate and don't have to worry.)
New certificates are being pushed out through CFR in monthly updates or OEM patches.
Boot up all your computers and run updates within the next few months, ASAP
