Unable to reset EAS Security Policy - Windows 10

Yes I have just discovered this onerous bug. Microsoft needs to fix this! Once you enable an EAS account in the mail app, even removing the account does not allow you to revert your security settings. I have removed all MS accounts, now sign in with a
local account, fully reset all Group Policies, verified in every power option and policy option that password is not required when waking yet still it is RED and won't allow you to change. The best I could get is disabling the "Require a password when a computer
wakes" option in Group Policy but all this did is change the red text from "Password required when waking this PC from sleep. Security policies are preventing you from changing this setting." to " "Password required when waking this PC from sleep. " So it
removed the security policies are preventing you text but it was still red and still unable to be changed.

So once you enable an EAS account, you are looking at a reload to remove these policies. Good job Microsoft. And this was easy in 8.1 with "Reset Security Policies" in the User Account section of the Control Panel.

Microsoft put it back!!!
