    So am i missing something (yes well definitely but still)? You need an online account to login to windows. So if im somewhere where there is no internet i just cant login to my w11 laptop? I cant use my laptop… wow. I havent touched windows in a long time but still. Thats gotta be nice for ppl that are always on the road for work. Damn.

      I can say that in the case of enterprise windows setups, the system caches your login credentials if it can’t reach the domain controller, so that you can still log in even if you’re not on the corporate network. I imagine it does similar for windows accounts (but I never use one so I can’t say for sure).
