    No Option to Pin to Start


    So there's no option to have recent docs directly from the start if the program is pinned to the start menu now?
    That seems like a step backward

    How to disable entering a pin number at start up?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated. I understand your concern and I am glad to help.



    Try the below steps and check if that helps:

    • Open Settings.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Select Sign-in options.
    • Look for PIN. Since you have already created a pin, you should be getting option as
      Forgot my PIN, click on that.
    • Now click on Continue.
    • Don’t enter the pin details and click on Cancel.
    • Now check for the issue.


    Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.
