Windows 10: How secure using a 6 digit PIN code to unlock local windows 10 pc?

I've been using a complex password 20 characters long including uppercase, lowercase, digit and special character instead of a PIN code to unlock my local account pc but these days it's become a pain to type it every time actually.My questions:Should I use a 6-digit PIN code to unlock my local account pc?Would it be as secure as my complex password?And I wonder if someone stole my pc, would it be easy to break my PIN code?Does Windows 10 permanently lock my pc?if someone tries to guess my PIN many times?What do you guys think? I want to easily unlock my pc but security is my top priority.

Windows 10 asking for minimum 6 digit pin

Set the minimum requirements to 4 digits or not configured. Create a new local account. See if you can assign a 4 digit PIN to the new local account. If you actually try @lx07's advice and remove the PIN from your account (not just try to change it), and create a new PIN and the new account only requires 4 digits, and you account requires 6 digits, then you know it is a problem with your account.

I just tried it on my Windows 10 Pro 17134.228. Changed the minimum PIN requirement to 6 digits. Changed my PIN from one 4 digit PIN to another 4 digit PIN. Then I actually removed the PIN, and when creating a new one, it required 6 digits. Then I changed the PIN requirements to not configured. Tried to change the PIN, it would only take a 6 digit PIN. But, when I removed the PIN from the account and created a new PIN, it allowed 4 digits again.

fwiw
10 enterprise here logs into a local account;
over a year ago a message appeared at login, and I was using a 4 digit pin since day one of win10, that said something, forget exacts.. recommended changing pin to 6 digit so it could be encrypted for added protection.
