Why didn't they just leave Windows XP alone! Where the hell is the "window" button? Is that the little flower on the keyboard, or is that the FN button at the bottom, or is that the button that looks like a keyboard, or is it one of the F buttons across the top, or is it the one that looks like a 4 leaf clover, or is it somewhere else with another emoji that nobody knows about unless you're 12 years old. Why don't you hire ADULTS to work for you so we know what the hell you're talking about?
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!

2025-05-13T00:55:53+00:00 if you have home edition windows 11 it cannot be done.
Why because Microsoft did not place it in home so they can scam/con you in upgrading to windows 11 pro

2025-05-13T02:16:02+00:00 K9 kWhat a ripoff! Microsoft forces us to pay for their crappy software with all these stupid pins and pass keys, then won't allow us to disable the **** so we can even use the program we paid for! My daughter paid for this for me, because being elderly and living on social security only is already limiting, and I don't have a clue which version I have, but then all these 18 year olds hired as tech support couldn't give step by step instructions if their lives depended on it, so I try to follow their instructions but they skipped 19 steps! Gates is as bad as Zuckerberg when it comes to good tech support! I put in a pin when I turn on the machine, then a pin to get in my Gmail, then a pin to get into word, then a pin to .... it's a vicious non-ending circle. Enough already!
