When starting a computer for the first time and connecting to the network, it typically requires signing in or registering a Microsoft account. Due to various network issues, this step can often result in prolonged waiting times, making it difficult to reach the desktop.

The following will introduce solutions for when the system gets stuck loading, as well as a method to quickly access the desktop without needing a network connection.

Note: This operation will not affect normal system usage, and all initial settings can be configured after accessing the desktop.

1. Handling the system being stuck on the update screen.

• Press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+F3, and the computer will restart and enter the system in administrator mode.

• After the restart, enter the system in administrator mode, and disconnect the network to prevent the system from automatically connecting to the internet and updating when it reaches the system setup screen.

• After the restart, select the language as shown in the image below.

2.Skip the network connection step to enter the system desktop

• At this step, you need to connect to Wi-Fi or use an Ethernet cable to connect to the network. On this page, press the keyboard shortcut Shift+F10 to open the Command Prompt (CMD) window. In the CMD window, type the command `OOBE\BYPASSNRO`, then press Enter. The system will restart again.

• After the restart, when you return to the network setup screen, you will see an additional option at the bottom: 【I don’t have internet】. Click and select it, and you will be able to enter the system desktop without needing to sign in to a Microsoft account or check for updates.
