I tried this and other suggested commands while setting up my windows 11 laptop last year, to no avail. It refused to budge until connected to the internet. Luckily, I was on an airplane with internet that required payment. I let it connect to the wifi and, to my surprise, it relented by allowing me to create a local account.

I am curious if there is a way to simulate this setup in a home network for when I need to set up my next computer.
