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!

    Dude, this is a pretty simple process. A script doesn't seem sketchy at all. lol

    What if I've 100 devices and imagine executing all these steps on each device? If a script is available it will be a time saver and I can deploy the script via my device management solution.

    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...

    This is the best answer after searching for a very long time. You have to follow the instruction letter by letter religiously. Slow down!!!
