Popular Windows 11 bypass tool hit by malware copycat | Flyoobe hijacked putting Windows 10 users at risk

A counterfeit version of the Flyoobe tool, which helps install Windows 11 on unsupported devices, is circulating and may contain malware. The official developer warns users to download Flyoobe only from the official GitHub page to avoid risks. Reports indicate that malicious updates have been released through a seemingly legitimate domain. Users are advised against engaging with third-party tools, as they can cause critical issues, including potentially "bricking" devices. Microsoft's Extended Security Updates (ESU) program is available, but critics view it as a temporary solution. Microsoft claims that Windows 11 PCs are significantly faster than Windows 10 PCs, and as support for Windows 10 ends, the use of tools like Flyoobe is expected to rise, along with associated risks.

If you’re still on Windows 10, switching to a new antivirus won’t be enough

Microsoft has officially ended support for Windows 10, which raises significant security concerns due to the lack of security patches. Microsoft Defender Antivirus (MSDA) will continue to provide protection for Windows 10 during the Extended Security Updates (ESU) period, which lasts until October 2028, but users without ESU will remain vulnerable. Upgrading to Windows 11 is a free option for legitimate Windows 10 license holders, ensuring access to the latest features and security updates. Alternatively, users can consider transitioning to Linux, with distributions like Linux Mint, Fedora, and Pop!_OS offering various advantages.

‘Do Not Download’—Update Warning Issued For Microsoft Windows Users

Microsoft has officially ceased security updates for Windows 10, leaving millions of PCs vulnerable to cyber threats. The Flyby11 workaround, now called FlyOOBE, has resurfaced on GitHub, allowing users to install Windows 11 on incompatible machines. The developer warns against downloading FlyOOBE from flyoobe.net due to potential risks, including invalidating warranties and compromising hardware security. FlyOOBE bypasses checks for TPM, Secure Boot, and CPU compatibility, automating the installation process. However, it is recommended that average users upgrade to Windows 11 if eligible, enroll in the Extended Security Updates program, or invest in new devices. Users of FlyOOBE may face challenges such as missing automatic upgrades and potential update failures. There are reports of malware-laden downloads disguised as FlyOOBE, posing significant risks to users' systems. It is advised to download FlyOOBE only from the official developer’s page to mitigate these risks.

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.”

On October 14, 2025, Microsoft ended support for Windows 10, impacting around 400 million PCs globally, and encouraged users to upgrade to Windows 11 through full-screen notifications. Users can enroll in the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for an additional year of support at no cost by syncing their PC settings with a Microsoft Account or using 1,000 Microsoft Reward points, which is free in the European Economic Area. Advocacy groups criticized the ESU program, calling it ineffective and indicative of planned obsolescence. Some users are considering switching to Linux for fewer ads and less telemetry tracking. Third-party tools like Flyoobe and Tiny11 help users transition to Windows 11 by bypassing hardware requirements and streamlining the OS. YouTube removed a video from CyberCPU Tech demonstrating local account setup for Windows 11, and Microsoft is enforcing Microsoft account requirements during new installations. The creator, Rich, believes the video removal was due to YouTube's AI misinterpretation, not Microsoft.

One of the best ways to avoid Windows 11’s requirements is back from the dead, and it’s celebrating with new features

Rufus and Flyoobe are two notable applications for Windows 11, with Rufus specializing in creating bootable USB drives and recently adding a dark mode feature. Flyoobe, previously known as Flyby11, focuses on customizing the installation experience for individual devices. Flyoobe faced a temporary setback when it was mistakenly flagged as malicious by GitHub's security systems due to its rising popularity, but it has since resumed operations with new features. The latest update includes the "OOBE Assist tile" for enhancing the post-installation experience, a new Extensions button replacing ToolSpot.exe, and improvements in script execution and user interface. The app has also reduced its reliance on the GitHub API to minimize future flagging. Key new features include Microsoft Defender maintenance, a quick launcher for essential Windows tools, and a refactored update checker.
