Tested: Windows 11 setup screen now finally lets you skip forced updates, and go directly to the desktop

Microsoft is introducing a new feature in Windows 11 that allows users to skip forced updates during the setup process, enabling them to go directly to the desktop. This feature, called "Update Later," lets users defer updates while setting up their device. Users can then manually pause or apply updates after reaching the desktop. Additionally, Microsoft is considering removing the mandatory Microsoft account setup requirement and reducing upsells during the out-of-box experience. These changes aim to improve user control and streamline the initial setup process in Windows 11.
