Do you know any workarounds to make Windows not ask me to login on a Ms account whenever I try to setup the fingerprints?

Using my Fedora installation on a XPS Plus was plug and play, no login needed.

I have a Samsung Book with Windows 11 that I can't do the same. :(

I have an Acer laptop with fingerprints and without a MS account.

I entered the wrong password to a fake MSFT account and that let me create a local account.

Setting up fingerprint scanning was part of the OOBE.

If this isn’t possible for you, try downgrading to Win10, setting it up, and upgrading.

Absurd that anyone would be ok with this kind of treatment from their OS vendor.
