How to Join the Windows Insider Program with a Local Account – BleepingComputer
The Microsoft Windows Insider program allows consumers and professionals to preview the upcoming features of Windows 10 before they are shipped to consumers.
To join the program and install the preview builds, you normally need a Microsoft account and a PC running Windows 10. Unfortunately, you must link your Microsoft account and Windows 10 device to download and install any Insider preview builds.
An independent developer has now created a command-line script called ‘Offline Insider Enroll’ that allows Windows 10 PCs to enroll in the Insider program without a Microsoft account.
On Github, the developer explained that this script takes advantage of ‘TestFlags’ registry value to enroll a user into the program:
If this value is set to ‘0x20’, all access to online Windows Insider services gets disabled. Because of this, we can set our own Windows Insider Preview configuration without being overridden by the contact to the service. Since Windows Update does not check if machine is actually enrolled to the program, you will get offered Insider Preview builds by just setting correct values in the registry.
The process is fairly easy to set up and takes place entirely in the Command Prompt as described below.
Install Windows 10 preview builds without a Microsoft account
- Download the ‘Offline Insider Enroll’ script from the GitHub repository and save it anywhere in the local system.
- Extract the archive to view the script.
- To run the script, right-click on the file and select ‘Run as administrator’.
- After the script is executed, it will ask you to select the Ring to join. More information about the various Rings can be found here.
- After selecting a Ring to join, you will be prompted to reboot your computer, which you should do.
After rebooting the system, you can go into the Windows Insider Program control panel and see that you have now joined the selected ring.
To stop receiving Windows Insider builds, you can run the script again, but this time select X and then reboot the computer.

The City of Pointe-Claire would like to inform you that the Bob-Birnie arena will be closed for its annual maintenance as of Monday, April 29. The Annex rink will reopen to the public on Monday, May 13, and the arena’s Main rink will be accessible as of Monday, June 3.
Public skating will resume on May 13, and the summer public activities programming will begin on June 3 when both rinks have reopened to the public.
In addition to the annual maintenance of the facility, two renovation projects are also scheduled to start at the same time:
Installation of new sound systems
The City will be replacing its current sound systems in both the Main rink and Annex rink, to offer arena visitors a better overall experience, whether watching from the stands or participating in on-ice activities. This project is expected to be conducted throughout the month of May.
Renovation of locker rooms in the Main Rink
The City will also be renovating the five locker rooms located in the Main rink, to bring up to date the amenities currently available to participants. These renovations are expected to begin in early May and will be completed by mid-August.
For all information about the Bob-Birnie arena, visit the arena’s page on our website.
We haven’t seen a new iPad in years, but Apple seems likely to change that in just a few weeks. All signs point to the release of new iPad models in the first week of May.
Apple CEO Tim Cook posted this GIF for the virtual event to X on Tuesday morning.
This morning, I received an email invite for a virtual Apple event, scheduled for May 7 at 7 a.m. PT (10 a.m. ET). The invite, which says “Let Loose,” shows a drawing of a hand holding an Apple Pencil. Considering the iPad is the only device that uses the Pencil — that doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
Apple’s been expected to release new OLED-screened iPad Pros with newly designed Pencils and Magic Keyboard cases. New iPad Airs are also expected, including a larger-screened 12.9-inch model. Apple’s iPad Air lineup tends to be slightly redesigned versions of previous-model iPad Pros, so just look to the M2 iPad Pro lineup for a sense of what the next Airs could be. These would be the first new iPads since the iPad Pro M2 model arrived in late 2022.
