Windows 11 - How do I remove sign in/pin at start up COMPLETELY?

Many thanks - I was pulling my hair out. The trick indeed was the email address and password for the MS account. :)

Hey Ben!

If you are using an MDM solution and want to bypass the login/startup page you can use the following PowerShell (.ps1) script:

$Username = "Username" $Password = "Password"$RegPath = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon"Set-ItemProperty -Path $RegPath -Name "AutoAdminLogon" -Value 1Set-ItemProperty -Path $RegPath -Name "DefaultUsername" -Value $UsernameSet-ItemProperty -Path $RegPath -Name "DefaultPassword" -Value $PasswordNew-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI" -Name "LogonUserSwitch" -Value 0 -Forcepowercfg -change -monitor-timeout-ac 0powercfg -change -monitor-timeout-dc 0powercfg -change -standby-timeout-ac 0powercfg -change -standby-timeout-dc 0 Restart-Computer -Force

Save and execute the script from your MDM solution or run it via PowerShell. After running the script, the device will restart automatically, enabling auto login to the specified user account.

I hope this helps! Thank you.

What part of "It doesn't work on my computer", did you not understand? I have done all of the steps shown and it still wants the pin number.

1. First, go to Settings > Accounts > Sign in options, scroll down to mid page, under "Additional Settings",Make sure "For improved security, only allow Windows Hello Sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device (Recommended). " is turned OFF.

THIS OPTION IS NOT AVALABLE

3. On this pop up window, this is where most mistakes happen. Very important, erase the username that's prefilled. Username should be your entire email address for your Microsoft account. Password is your Microsoft account's password. Any typo here can prevent it from working. Then click OK. And back to the netplwiz page, click OK.

THIS OPTION IS ALOS NOT AVALABLE

Hello, this is Emily.

It is possible to do so, but please make sure you follow these steps very closely in order for it to work:

1. First, go to Settings > Accounts > Sign in options, scroll down to mid page, under "Additional Settings",Make sure "For improved security, only allow Windows Hello Sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device (Recommended). " is turned OFF.
2. Launch netplwiz, select your user, if the "user must enter a username and password to use this computer" box is NOT checked, please check it , click Apply. Then uncheck the box and click Apply. This will bring up a pop up window.
3. On this pop up window, this is where most mistakes happen. Very important, erase the username that's prefilled. Username should be your entire email address for your Microsoft account. Password is your Microsoft account's password. Any typo here can prevent it from working. Then click OK. And back to the netplwiz page, click OK.
4. Restart the computer now and it should work.

FINALLY! You are the only one who told us about the third point! **THANK YOU!**I hope that you will win one billion dollars in a lottery!
