    Latest Windows 10, cannot sign in without using PIN


    Having done a complete new install of Windows 10 Home via MediaCreationTool on a USB.

    Although running without any issues.

    Although its running with a hotmail account and Pin.

    The feature in netplwiz to allow to start windows without signing in is no longer available, a pin has to be used each time.

    Some say to sign in with account & password to resolve this, even that option has gone too.

    Is there a registry/command to change the sign in. ome say to sign in with account & password.

    Is there anything that can be done to have a choice ?

    Turn off "Require Windows Hello sign-in....." under Windows Settings/Accounts/Sign-in Options.
