Microsoft is rolling out a new change for Windows 11 that gives users the ability to skip the update section of the out of box setup experience. Until now, Windows 11 PCs have been forced to endure a time consuming update process when setting up a new PC for the first time, which can often take up to 30 minutes to complete, depending on how many updates need to be installed.
Of course, this has been a pain point for many. This forced update process meant the entire setup process for a new Windows 11 PC could take almost 40 minutes, which is much slower than the streamlined and efficient setup experiences found on rival platforms like macOS, Chrome OS, and Linux distributions.
