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!

    1. First, go to Settings > Accounts > Sign in options, scroll down to mid page, under "Additional Settings",Make sure "For improved security, only allow Windows Hello Sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device (Recommended). " is turned OFF.

    The "For improved security, only allow Windows Hello Sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device" is greyed out and I can't turn it off. Why is it blocking me?

    Thank you for the response.

    I also found out that if there is no Windows administrator listed, you do not need to do a sign-in.

    I did not want a sign-in as this is a home computer that others in my family use.

    I like your suggestion except what do you do when you have to run some app or procedure as "Administrator"

    Maybe if there is none, you won't be required to use it?

    I appreciate your reply however, I am going to uncheck the box to Notify me when someone responds for reasons which have nothing to do with your reply. I wish you Good Luck in your ongoing battle with MS!

    I appreciate your response.

    I have not had a need to be “Administrator”, so I can’t answer your comment. I’m guessing that if the need would arise I could sign on as the administrator.
