    Solved!!!!

    After making the changes in Group Policy, it still didn't work and it still asked me to create a pin. I almost gave up, then  I stumbled on the solution:

    Change your user account from a "Microsoft account" to a "Local Account" . (Setting > Account >  Your info > "Sign in with a local account instead"). I don't know if this work in combination with the Group Policy setting or not, but I do know that, for me, the GP setting alone didn't do it.

    (MS really wants  you to log in with a Microsoft account instead of a local account. During the initial setup of a new computer, it is really easy to miss the step to create a local account and instead you are "convinced" to create a MS account. This is exactly what happened to me. This is a new PC for me in 3 years and in the past, I have never seen this PIN and MS account things.)

    History:

    The reason I don't want to use the PIN is that using the PIN, my other networked computers cannot access this new PC.. When researching this problem, I saw that using the PIN is the problem. So I changed the logon to password. But ever since the change, it kept asking me to create a PIN. I researched for a solution and did the changes in Group Policy as suggested here, but it didn't work. Then I remember seeing something about Local Account in dealing with the network problem. That's what gave me the idea and it worked. 

    Hope it will work for you too.

    Cheers.

    No user select options work to stop it. I've tried everyone's suggestions within the standard environment and nothing works.

    Windows should not need to be delved into by amateur people like me to sort out simple login problems. Although it's now tempting as I'm starting not to care if it gets messed up.

    I hate this feature.

    I went and created the PIN and immediately deleted it. I haven't tried restarting my computer yet but so far it is no longer asking me to create another, and I sign in with my password as normal.
