Windows 10: I want to use my computer without having to log into Microsoft

Okay,


I've been through this exercise about 40 times since Windows Vista added the darn login/user account **** to my computers.


I want to be able to turn my computer on and use it without having to log into a Microsoft account. I have been through a bazillion tutorials explaining how to defeat this but none of them seem to work. Under user accounts next to "User must enter a user name and password" the box is unchecked. Under settings -> Accounts -> Sign-in options and "Require sign-in" I have selected "Never".


Yet whenever I reboot my computer is am required to either log into my Microsoft account or enter a PIN. I think being forced to log into a Microsoft account on my computer is a vile violation of my personal privacy and having to enter a PIN on my computer is just plain useless and annoying.


Please don't try to lecture me on computer/data security. Forcing me to log into a Microsoft account tells me a secure computer isimpossible. I do not keep files with my personal data on my hard drive and I do not use cloud services.


Every time I fix this problem and it IS a problem, Microsoft pushes and update and I have to go through it all over again. Every time this happens it makes me unreasonably irritable until I can fix it again. I know Windows 10 spies on me every second of every day but I don't need a reminder of is when I start up my computer.


Someone, PLEASE point me to the latest secret way of bypassing this annoyance.
