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?

    Now you know why Microsoft keeps letting us upgrade our OS for free.... Every upgrade adds more control and, probably, more snooping in to our transactions, searching, browsing, etc.

    I'm getting the impression that this issue is not solved, will never be solved, and Microsoft couldn't care less. This is ridiculous. I should be able to choose to to keep my computer unlocked, but Microsoft thinks I'm stupid and can't handle myself so they force me to live in their garbage world.

    I <removed> hate Microsoft. It's a bloated garbage organization that should have been split up years ago. We desperately need new options.

    It's for security, and the reasons are good.

    If your desktop is stolen, the power turns off. When the thieves plug it in, they don't know your password so the files in your account are secure. So are all the websites that open automatically as you have your passwords stored in Edge -- perhaps retirement accounts and similar.
