From what I see the only working method for creating an offline account is during the windows setup when you press shift + F10 which will spawn a command line window where you have to enter "oobe\bypassnro" which will reboot the computer and on the wifi selection screen will give you a "I don't have an internet connection" button

Won't work though if you're Already configured for wifi

I love all the magic tricks and fake doors you use to bypass this evil shit.

I screwed up and connected to wifi before using the oobe\bypassnro command.

I had to block the PC from accessing the Internet in my router settings to get the "I don't have an internet connection" button back.

If buy a PC with windows 11 pro instead of home, you can also just click other options and choose "Domain join instead." you don't actually have to enter any domain info, etc it'll just have you create a local account.

Won't really help "regular" people since most off-the-shelf, i.e. Best Buy, computers come with Home but if you stick to business lines (ThinkPads, XPS, Latitude, Precision, EliteBook and ProBooks, etc.) you get Pro edition.
