Why is creating an offline account for Windows 10 so slow? Not only does it have way too many steps, three screens for something so simple it should be in one, but each screen takes strangely long to load - as if they are being loaded from a slow, remote web server. It's weird.
Microsoft really wants you to use a Microsoft account. That's why creating an offline, local account is well hidden.
I get that, it's just a poor experience for the end users, but why is the Windows 10 installer so non-responsive.

You have to choose: blue-screen loops during install, or slow creation of local users.

Yeah, but all the OTHER things are so slow, too. You probably get punished more for not going local. It's just punishing, not directing.

True. I don't have actual metrics to support my claim, but I've been generally underwhelmed by the performance of Windows 10.

If making things nicer was designed to encourage you to do certain things, that would seem to indicate that Microsoft wants to kill off Cortana, but holy cow that's annoying if you don't kill it with fire.

It's not hidden at all. Same as it always was. Open up computer management, right click local users and create new. I just did it the other day on 1803.

I think he's talking about "during install" where it is really weird and a bit confusing.

It is during Windows installation. Perhaps hidden isn't the right term. "well obscured"

You mean having 6 computers all starting up and talking at you in an office isn't you're idea of fun? I thought I'd at least give it a shot and try the voice control to do all 6 at once.... didn't work out so well.
