    Like commandos84, I am still getting the prompt using this method :/

    However, I decided to just create a PIN to make the thing shut up and there is an option to include letters and symbols.

    Make the PIN the same as the normal login password and it shouldn't bug you anymore.

    Unfortunately setting this group policy didn't fix the problem here. After a power cycle you're again asked.

    Have just reinstalled 1709 and 1803, can confirm that the former let's you cancel setting up a pin and never asks again. The latter insists you set one up no matter what you do. (Including setting one then removing it)

    1803 is full of bugs. It also prevents motherboards with nForce chipsets from waking on scheduled tasks.

    Using a pin also prevents you from connecting to other computers on your network.  Remove the pin and it works OK with a password -- BUT, then you have the nag problem.  The Group Editor fix is OK for Windows Professional but what do I do about Windows Home?

    The Group Policy change mentioned above does not work with Windows Professional.

    Using a clean install of 1803, the nag returns even after you make that change.

    Creating a pin and later removing it also doesn't work, the nag returns.
