    It's like Microsoft is actively working with "law enforcement" to circumvent your security.

    The fact that you have to edit a group policy to change this is simple trash design by Microsoft.  This is what market dominance looks like.  Trash.

    I have the same problem as well. I have 3 Windows 10 running on 2 pc and 1 computer one of which has "Home" version, whereas the other 2 have the "Professional" version. I set a pin for one pc and when I re-start the computer, it asks the pin and claims that the pin I type in that box isn't correct although I'm writing the correct one. It directs me to change my microsoft account's password. I'm sick of changing my account's password. How many times do I have to change my microsoft account's password in 24 hours? Are you kidding us Microsoft?

    I DO NOT WANT TO CREATE a Damn PIN, I DO NOT WANT PASSWORD. Clean this mass up or I will change the operating system. I'm sick of this stupid pin, password thing. It MUST be our decision to set a password/pin or not. I neither want to set a password nor a pin. Even when I set pin, your buggy system doesn't accept the correct pin; it claims I typed an incorrect one. So much stress for a simple, stupid decision. How hard can it be, right? Just give us our right --to remove pin/password in order to open our pc smoothly-- back. None of the answers here work, none of them.

    Found this thread after booting my computer tonight and having it take forever to load the logon page. Then it finally tells me that I can 'speed up' the logon by creating a pin! Well, if you didn't stop to tell me to create a pin, I'd have already been logged on.

    I'm glad I could help!  I've also recently come back to windows after 10 years.

    Hi TomaM1,

    I tried this twice. I still get the extra screens asking me to set up a PIN. The second time I followed your instructions, the "Disabled" button was already selected, so I know I followed the steps the first time.

    Do you have any other ideas I can try to eliminate these extra screens asking for a PIN setup?

    Thank you in advance!

    Steve
