    STOP FORCING US TO USE FEATURES WE DO NOT WANT ALREADY.

    I had to hit reset to avoid having to set a PIN, as I did not want one.

    You could really earn a competitive advantage over Apple if you cut out:

    • Software that cannot be removed (I don't want to use OneDrive it does not matter how many ways you push this in my damn face)
    • Folders that cannot be removed (e.g. 3D F*cking objects)
    • No opt-out to security features - it's our bloody choice, not everything is a f*cking phone
    • Also broken documentation sites where things change so often that they become a myriad of redirects to splash pages that no one ever wanted to land on...

    I shouldn't have to research registry entries just to get rid of **** I never wanted in the first place! I don't understand why you do not get this and it is so massively frustrating.

    Vent over, much better.

    Edit: Formatting, as apparently your WYSIWYG editor is also sh*t.

    Unsure if it is a recent Windows build change, but this did not disable it for me. I've confirmed the setting after reboot and canceling out of the pin-create screens. 

    Boo Microsoft... This is PITA.

    @TomaM1: It did show me the right direction for Microsoft 10 Home Edition

    @all using Microsoft 10 - Home Edition:

    1. Click "Start button"
    2. Click "Settings" wheel on the left hand side
    3. in the search bar, type "Pin"
    4. click the 1st choice "Set up PIN sign-in"
    5. 1st line, "If you've been away, when should Windows require you to sign in again?", answer (with the drop-down menu) NEVER!!!!

    like anyone would know to do this,,, the real question is why Microsoft in their infinite wisdom did not build a don't ask again into their utility? Nope we have to go on the internet and type the problem and spend two hours of our lives fixing it ourselves. Not so good job Microsoft
