I'm looking into Unix. Unix has a much Stabler operating system and minus all the ****. They have a Windows type of interface. They have something for everybody and it's free. That's going to be my next operating system I'm pretty sure and you can even use Windows programs in a Windows environment on Unix. They got two different ones that are really good for this. They also have the pro version and the free version. You should check it out Sharon and everybody else. We don't have to put up with this ****. Most the giant businesses use Unix anyways cuz it's a much Stabler operating system. Two flip off fingers to you, new Microsoft owners. Old Microsoft was excellent. You guys are screwed
Set MS Windows 11 permanently to stop asking for sign-in password or pin
Please Microsoft, stop being such an annoying nanny.
My personal desktop PC at home is not accessible to anyone except me. When I turn it on I don't want to be constantly prompted to sign in to my Microsoft account (which itself is endlessly annoying as you can't just sign in). MS insists on the endless complicated sign ins. Even after setting my account not to require a password or pin to auto-start, MS keeps re-setting that. I'm not even allowed to set an easy repeated pin entry or password. Google is also doing that ****. I can't tell you how many times a day I have to respond to emails or text messages with verification codes and 2FAs. They want scan my face or use my fingerprint to supposedly make it easier -- at what additional cost?
Please don't lecture me on security. I have a hearty password manager, encrypted router authentication settings, and countless other protections. This is not a publicly accessible laptop or phone.
This nonsense is incredible. It affects everything and makes you waste an enormous amount of time.
While I'm at it, they're criminal highwaymen. I've spent months trying to speak to a live support agent about a deranged licensing system. I had a valid product key for over a decade. My PC could not run Windows 11 (more nanny nonsense). So, I bought some hardware and upgraded that PC.
I made the harrowing mistake of updating windows during my hardware process. In that update, Windows wiped out my product key from the registry and took me on this months long rabbit hole of their idiotic explanations in a circuitous meandering labyrinthine maze that always ends up without solution and sends you back to the same old starting place.
They can easily find that my Windows installation was used without any licensing question for a decade. I could even provide them over two years of regular update installations, but they want me to go through hundreds of storage boxes to find my original disk and key. I've been there before with XP and 7. Even when I find the box with the key on it, their computerized activation system refuses to let me use it. Simply ****?
They've so completely complicated their licensing structure and definitions into a shell game, with that garbage excuses gatekeeping extortion scam. They're running a criminal ransom operation. When you're upgrading hardware you will finally give up and buy a new digital key -- crooks. Then, after I was able to finally activate Windows 10, I chose to upgrade to Windows 11. Now the same **** is happening all over again. They want me to spend another $120 to buy another key. What incredible A**H***S!

2024-05-01T18:14:05+00:00 After some searchs, what really works for me was this:
Open regedit and change this key:
Computador\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Device
Change DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion from 2 to 0.
Restart.
Win + R and open netplwiz.
Now have an option to uncheck: Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
Just uncheck and it is done.

2024-02-20T17:04:26+00:00 I have exactly the same problem. Exceedingly annoying. I have even created an AutoLogon and AutoPassword in the Registry. Even that doesn't stop the "DEMAND" that I must have a PIN. Hate it!! Has anyone figured this out? There must be something in the Registry that triggers the request for a PIN to be created. If I can find out what it is I will change it. I don't mind making changes to the Registry with regedit.
