Rufus can bypass all that crap and you get to install on unsupported hardware as well.

The stuff Rufus doesn't block is the everything horrific. It's great at removing/side-stepping the annoying and does nothing to remove the excrement.
I do like rufus though.
This is gonna be a very simple patch for Microsoft to eliminate
Consider permanent solutions such as automated scripts (learn how to read scripts or ask the ai overlords to do it for you and verify)
But if you’re reeeally over windows shit it’s a good time to consider swapping OS or even doing a dual boot with a steam os just for gaming but dual boots with windows can get hairy and you run the risk of getting fawked up
It has been ages since I installed Windows 11. Does it require (as in, you can't continue without) an internet connection be enabled at an earlier stage in the installation process?
If not, then MS can patch all they want, if you have the installer on a USB drive already, they can't force you to update it and the installer won't fetch a patched OOBE installer with the internet disabled.
Yeah, you’ve got a point here. You do still have to use the older version of the installer but that can be pretty trivial, good point!
It tries to, however you can bypass the 'Let's get you connected' screen. Since you'll probably need to manually install the wifi drivers, you can start that way with internet disabled.
If anybody needs the actual method: Shift + F10 at the Connection Screen, then in the command prompt, type: OOBE\BYPASSNRO
It'll restart and you'll have to go through a couple windows again (keyboard layout, language, etc.), but then you'll be set. One thing to remember, once you log in with your account and get the internet going (if you decide to), Onedrive will immediately start trying to sync and download everything. Literally the first thing I do is quit one drive and uninstall it so it won't!
