Recording what I did after installing Windows 11

What I did after installing Windows 11#

Yesterday, I reinstalled my computer...

Network#

Installed Clash
Downloaded the Clash for Windows installation package on another computer and uploaded it to Windows for downloading. I did this on Wenshu, as it doesn't require logging in and has no speed limit. Oh, by the way, don't forget to save the Clash configuration before reinstalling. After installation, you can directly import it.

Password Manager#

I use 1password8. I downloaded it from the official website and logged in. I can't remember passwords, so this is very helpful.

Driver Installation (3060ti + z790)#

Scoop Installation#

This is similar to Homebrew on macOS and works well!
Search for 'Windows PowerShell' in the Windows search bar and run the command Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -scope CurrentUser. Choose 'y' when prompted. Without this setting, installation is not allowed. It's a bad thing!
Then execute iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex to install the program.

Installed packages (software), here are the ones I installed. If I find any useful ones later, I will update this article.
scoop install git && scoop bucket add extras && scoop update && scoop install aria2 telegram flow-launcher trafficmonitor quicklook vscode python vim Everything typora obs-studio ffmpeg mkvtoolnix mediainfo mediainfo-gui notepadplusplus firefox nodejs sublime-text vscode notion bandizip geekuninstaller yt-dlp qq wechat snipaste translucenttb dbeaver && scoop cleanup -k * && scoop cleanup -gk * && scoop cache rm *

You can also set a proxy with scoop config proxy 127.0.0.1:7890. Just for fun~
To revert the setting, use scoop config proxy None.

Search for "File Explorer Options" in the search bar, and under the "General" tab, change the option to open File Explorer to "This PC".

Change the right-click menu in Windows 11 to Windows 10 style: Open cmd and run these two commands
reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & start explorer.exe

Revert the setting
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}" /f

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & start explorer.exe

Challenges Encountered#

Challenge 1: `C:\Users\xxx` doesn't have the name I want. This is not my computer! Reinstallation required.#

When reinstalling Windows 11, there is no option for "I don't have an Internet connection". I suggest not connecting to the Internet. Later, you need to log in to your Microsoft account to enter the system. Press Shift + F10 on your keyboard, then execute the command OOBE\BYPASSNRO in the command prompt window that appears. This will allow you to choose "I don't have an Internet connection". You can refer to this article: https://www.sysgeek.cn/install-windows-11-without-internet-connection/ or https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/516998734. If you don't do this and connect to the Internet normally, log in to your Microsoft account and enter the system, you will find that C:\Users\xxx doesn't have the name you want. This is not my computer! You can create a new local account by going to "Settings", clicking on your avatar, selecting "Other users", adding an account, entering the desired name, restarting (remember to log out of the original account), logging in with the local account, and deleting the Microsoft login account.

To remove PIN login, you need to enter your Microsoft account password. I entered it, but it was always incorrect. I thought I remembered it wrong and even verified it on the web. Then I changed the PIN password, clicked on "Remove PIN", entered the previous Microsoft account password, and it was deleted...
