Windows 11 - How do I remove sign in/pin at start up COMPLETELY?

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.

Hello, this is Emily.

It is possible to do so, but please make sure you follow these steps very closely in order for it to work:

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.
2. Launch netplwiz, select your user, if the "user must enter a username and password to use this computer" box is NOT checked, please check it , click Apply. Then uncheck the box and click Apply. This will bring up a pop up window.
3. On this pop up window, this is where most mistakes happen. Very important, erase the username that's prefilled. Username should be your entire email address for your Microsoft account. Password is your Microsoft account's password. Any typo here can prevent it from working. Then click OK. And back to the netplwiz page, click OK.
4. Restart the computer now and it should work.

FINALLY! You are the only one who told us about the third point! **THANK YOU!**I hope that you will win one billion dollars in a lottery!

Dear Emily,

I encountered a similar problem after resetting my laptop so I tried the steps you listed. The only issue is this Settings",Make sure "For improved security, only allow Windows Hello Sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device (Recommended) is not on my laptop. Every other thing is there except this!

How do I get sound this? Thanks.
