YouTube removes Windows 11 Microsoft account bypass video citing a community guideline violation with potential to cause serious physical harm or death — "I don't think Microsoft had anything to do with it."

The YouTube logo is displayed on a mobile phone screen above a computer.

As you might already know, Microsoft pulled support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, potentially leaving 400 million PCs unsupported. It's apparent that the tech giant would prefer users to upgrade to Windows 11 following the demise of its predecessor, which it has made clear through full-screen multipage pop-up ads.

However, Windows 10 users can continue using the operating system by enrolling in Microsoft's Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for an additional year of support for free by syncing their PC settings to the cloud via a Microsoft Account, or pay $30 or 1,000 Microsoft Reward points.
