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!

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

    Works! Thank you.

    Why do Microsoft make such things so hard to do? Do they want to be hated? 2 hours of my life I will never get back. Now just need to figure how to get back to 'old' outlook. The version that actually works...

    Thanks for the steps. Unfortunately, this didn't work for me. I was able to complete all the steps. However, when I rebooted, I got a screen with my user name and the following message: "We are unable to connect right now. Please check your network and try again later." There is an "OK" button below it.

    When I click OK, I'm taken to the normal login screen, only now there are two separate logins, both with my same MS account.

    Anyone know a fix for this (there's no issues with my network).

    This is so annoying because I'm always at home with my computer and have zero need for a login with password/pin protection.

    Upon further digging, it appears MS has changed Windows so this no longer works. It seems every time people figure out a way to get around the login, they change Windows to make it impossible.
