Windows Setup
Configure Windows offline to prevent automatic updates and Microsoft account sync that can interfere with the permanent spoofer.
Complete the entire Windows initial setup offline. Connecting to the internet during setup can trigger automatic Microsoft account sign-in prompts and pull unwanted updates.
- When Windows Setup asks about network, click I don't have internet
- If using Ethernet, unplug the cable before booting into Windows for the first time
- If using WiFi, simply do not connect to any network
Connecting early can force a Microsoft account login and enable automatic updates — both of which can interfere with the spoofer.
When prompted to sign in, choose to create a local account instead of using a Microsoft account.
- On the sign-in screen, click Limited experience or Continue with limited setup
- Enter a username for the local account (no password required)
- Skip the security questions by leaving them blank or entering any value
A Microsoft account syncs settings and telemetry that can inadvertently link your hardware identity to your previous ban history.
