I followed these instructions but the netplwiz box was already unchecked. I've never run with a PIN since I want this computer to restart automatically. Last nights update changed that.
Windows 11 - How do I remove sign in/pin at start up COMPLETELY?

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!

2025-01-27T15:21:59+00:00 I am running Pro. This is a change that suddenly appeared. The computer has not required a pin since I originally configured it.
I use a PIN on laptops, but this system I intentionally configured without a PIN to slow down the boot.
Microsoft changed something I didn't want.
