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 understand it's for the security reason and that the reasons are good. The last version of windows allowed you to make the choice of having the extra step or turning it off. I would just like to have that choice, and make the decision on my own.

    Ok, not sure if you figured it out but I FINALLY did. We were in the right area. I went to "Account Settings" and chose "Make account local", entered my password, chose my local login name, entered nothing (blank) for password and it logged me out. Rebooted and vuala!
