First of all - STOP "PROTECTING" US.

I do not want to have to enter a pin every single time I use my computer.

So please tell me how I remove this option COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY!

And for gods sake - treat people like adult and STOP trying to "hide" these options.

Its my computer, not yours!

    None of this works! Windows is pain in the A@@ when I try to access my pc... It's extremely annoying that I have to enter either pin or password, and can't be disabled. Only I access my pc, nobody else. I don't need this security AT ALL yet it's there and extremely annoying... a lot of people have been complaining about this but microsoft has never done anything about it... this is why I don't support it, and will never pay for OS!

    Amazing and thank you Emily. I don't understand why this isn't a normal easy option.

    Amen brother! Holy smokes - I have 4 levels of verification I need to go through at work, continuously, just to access my own computer and stuff I'm the only one working on. MS needs to give it a rest!

    If "user must enter a username and password to use this computer" doesn't exist in Netplwiz, then, we have to do something in Powershell(Admin) to get it back...

    Copy this:

    reg ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Device" /v DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

    Open PowerShell(Admin)

    Rightclick in the Powershell, and click on insert, and hit Enter. Restart the computer, and it should work... Tested on another computer, I have.

    Then, open Netplwiz again, and do, as Emily describes - after that, remember to restart the computer.

    REMEMBER!!! Save your password for the computer - write it on a paper, so you easily can get it!!! Bcause, a Windows-update CAN remove the ... Ehh.. Removed password, so you AGAIN will need to use password. I have tried that!

    Copy the command into a Word-document, so you have that for other computers, or when buying a new one...
