Windows 10: I have enabled the option to require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts. However,...

I have enabled the option to require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts. However, I am having trouble signing in and Windows does not provide me with any other options. Can anyone help me? I don’t want to lose my data.

Windows Hello preventing options on requiring sign-in

Hello, *Smile

If the Require sign-in setting is grayed out with a Windows hello is preventing some options from being shown message, it means it is not possible to change the Require sign-in setting in option 1 below while Windows Hello (ex: face) is enabled since it is assumed you want to use Windows Hello to sign in every time.

If you do not want to remove your Windows Hello Face for example to be able to use option 1 above, you could use option 5 or 6 below to set the Require sign-in setting via policy instead.

Hi that's strange because I always download updates and it currently says there are no updates available for me.

Hi, I guess I'm a little confused about Hello does, and whether I should sign in with my Microsoft account or a local one?

At some point I'll try deactivating Hello and see what happens (annoyed that I'll have to redo my fingerprints, I did three or so for each of multiple fingers to increase the chances of recognition.
