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!

    Type netplwiz in the search on the taskbar and press enter, 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.

    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.

    Type netplwiz in the search on the taskbar and press enter, select your user, it seems very few fail to understand.

    this said fix does not work in home edition and never has.

    Home edition is a water down version of windows 11,

    I had tried the said way but ended up fixing and it worked, I upgraded to windows 11 pro.

    then I used the fix and it worked..

    Under stand one thing if a person tells you to do it by the fix ask them what version windows 11 they have , Pro or home/

    home edition does not have the necessary software to use the fix , things are missing,

    up grade to windows pro please.......

    Microsoft please please do the right thing and do a fix for home edition please please it has been a few years now with this problem.

    head out of the clouds and fix this tiny tiny problem

    folks understand home edition will not allow you to use  netplwiz to by pass sign in

    to fix up grade to pro I know it means more money and I feel it is wrong MS grabbing more money because they refuse to fix it sounds like a scam it cost me more money to fix mine
