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 had same issue,
go to setting/accounts/access work or school
then disconnect all the accounts from work or school accountscheck whether the remove pin button still grey out or activated
go to setting/accounts/sign in option
Disable **For improved security, only allow windows hello sign in for microsoft accounts on this device.**Restart you PC
again check whether the remove pin button still grey out or activated
if not then try to restart the pc
I too would prefer to remove any login requirements upon startup. I live alone. I almost never go anywhere, because I'm disabled. I want the thing to just turn on and be ready to go. Especially when I have to do setup/update stuff requiring numerous restarts.
I'm fed up with Micro$oft, and seemingly everyone else, trying to impose unnecessary security inconveniences on me against my will.
Paula, IT DOES NOT WORK. As I have stated earlier, I have talked to Microsoft personnel, and it can not be done in windows 11. It is a safety feature for "our protection". I have family member who works for microsoft and he got me in touch with several people and he checked himself. Thank you for all your input.
Now the real question is how do i stop this thread? ahahaha
Thanks. This actually worked.
It appears MSFT wants you to login to devices with your MS account, not what they now call a "local account."
If you switch to a local account, no password is required. It looks like they really want to discourage people from doing this.
If you stay logged in with your global MS account, which they make you set up upon installation of Win11, you must use a PIN or other security for login.
