As the title states,

when i want to use chris titus tool to install via "irm" command, i cannot do so because the software forces me to creatge user login, by entering a password when i do so it states: "error: password invalid" or smth like that i forgot the exact term but when i restart the PC i see that i no longer can lock in instantly but need to enter the (previously set) password from chris titus user credential window before.

I would like to know how can i create a normal simple MS account, which is not an admin account.

Ty in regards!
 
GamerOS by default enables the built-in Administrator account as the primary user. That was Txmmy's preference. You can choose to replace it with a normal local user account, from the Unattended screen.

I haven't used the current version of CTT, so not sure why it requires a specific user login. To run any PS script via "irm", typically you need to change PS's Execution Policy to something like Unrestricted while it's running.
Code:
powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope LocalMachine -Force

By design, Windows cannot create a MS Account or link to one (from an existing Local Account) via a command. It must be done in the Settings app as a GUI function.
 
This bit of code is off the shelf, and checks if you're in the Administrators group or the built-in Admin:

start.ps1
Code:
if (!([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal][Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator)) {
    Write-Output "Winutil needs to be run as Administrator. Attempting to relaunch."

Sadly this did Not do much aswell /

This is what i get Garlin when i try to use winutil: but when i use the chocolatey as the Other Option to Download stuff IT works, apparently i musst have Set Something in my bit gameros preset or renoved some critical components for winget to Work properly ...
