When I go to the "remove pin", the button is grayed out. I contacted HP tech support & they said that's a software issue. I was able to turn it off in Win 10, but when I rec'd my new laptop that was supposed to have Win 10 installed, it turned out to be Win 11. Anyone have a fix?

    I know it is possible for Win 11 to restart without requiring a PIN. I haven't figured out how to do it on my new Win 11 graphics workstation, but when I upgraded my Win 10 laptop – which was set up to not require a PIN or PW on reboot – to Win 11, it still doesn't require a PW or PIN on reboot.
