This PowerShell script can bypass Windows 11 system requirements, Microsoft Account

A new utility is being developed that will bypass the strict system requirements of Windows 11. It is called UnattendedWinstall and comes as a PowerShell script. It is so called because it is built on Windows Answer files (also known as Unattend or AutoUnattend files).

For those who don't know, Answer files are XML files that essentially allow users to pre-configure, modify, and automate Windows settings during Windows setup. Other third-party applications, such as NTLite, also come with this functionality.

Features of the utility include:

  • Windows 10/11 Pro installed by default
  • Bypass Windows 11 system requirements
  • Disable Windows Defender services by default
  • Disable User Account Control by default
  • Allow execution of PowerShell scripts by default
  • Skip mandatory Microsoft account creation during Windows setup
  • Remove pre-installed bloatware apps except Microsoft Edge, Notepad, and Calculator
  • Disable Copilot and Recall
  • Set privacy related registry key to disable telemetry
  • Limit Windows Update to only install security updates for one year
  • Optimize registry with multiple keys related to optimization and customization
  • Disable unnecessary scheduled tasks
  • Configure Windows services for optimal performance
  • Enable Ultimate Performance power mode

Besides the features, instructions on how to use are also provided:

Use the UWScript.ps1 file after Windows is installed to reapply or revert settings in case Windows Update resets some settings, or if you encounter any problems.

You can also use UnattendedWinstall to get the same experience as on your current Windows operating system without reinstalling Windows.

Before running the script

Make sure you open PowerShell as an administrator. Also, set the execution policy to allow script execution by running the following command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Run PowerShell with elevated permissions and allow script execution to ensure that UWScript.ps1 can apply the necessary system changes.

You can find more information on the official GitHub repository. The developer has confirmed that this script also works with the latest version of Windows 11- version 24H2.
