Windows 10: How do I remove the pin requirement for signing in to my Windows 11 laptop?

This is so frustrating. I recently upgraded to Windows 11 and it requires me set up a pin for Windows Hello. Now my kind of work requires me to work fast and I cannot afford the few seconds of typing in a pin every time I log in my laptop. When I turned off the requirement for Windows Hello, it required me to sign in using my Microsoft Account, which takes even longer. Someone suggested using a local account for my device but a lot of features like Print Screen are turned off when I use a local account. It may be small things but that's what's supposed to make it better than the competition.

Microsoft Support was not helpful either, they just suggested I use another method like the Microsoft Authenticator app, which is worse.
