So I just figured out a workaround that actually works! At least until Microsoft puts out a new Windows installer that fixes this,

here's what you can do:

First, make sure you unplug your ethernet cable or turn off WiFi before you start installing Windows. This way your computer isn't connected to the internet during setup.

When you get to that screen where it's asking you to sign in with a Microsoft account (you know, the annoying one from the post), here's the trick: press SHIFT and F10 at the same time. This opens up a command prompt window.

Then just type this command: start ms-cxh:localonly and press Enter. It should bring up an option to make a local account instead! Just fill in a username and password like the old days.

After you finish the setup and get to your desktop, you can connect back to the internet and download all the updates.

You haven't read the article in which they explain that that is the specific hole they're closing.

Hopefully Rufis will have a solution as well.

This is my favorite solution, I always name the user "online account" because I love irony

What happens when you install without account using an old ISO without this "patch" and then just update it?

This is my plan.

According to the linked article, that's the specific thing they removed in this latest test build
