Description
Some internal networks cannot access GitHub and cannot perform SBOM operations. As a result, the operations will fail. Is there a build parameter to disable this function?

Research direction
Start in PCbuild/regen.targets around line 100, where the Windows build invokes SBOM generation. Check the available MSBuild parameters and how this target is wired into the build; done means an explicit option can disable the SBOM operation so builds work on networks without GitHub access.
