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?

    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.

    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...

    What part of "It doesn't work on my computer", did you not understand? I have done all of the steps shown and it still wants the pin number.

    I followed your instructions to the "T", and it still wants a PIN number after restarting. I have Windows 11 and its a new Dell computer. Any advice would be helpful.

    Thanks
