Windows 10: Organization managing PIN after disconnecting school account

Hello-
I am running Windows 10 Home.
I am trying to change my sign-in PIN, but an organization has set PIN requirements. I have already disconnected my school account that was managing my PC and shouldn't be getting restricted by it.

School still requiring login changes after disconnecting on my PC

This has been going on for a bit now, and I'm finally getting so fed up with having to brainstorm new pins every 3 months. I initially added my school live account in hopes it would make working between home and school easier. After a while, I found it so
annoying the issues outweighed the benefits, mainly in the fact I was running out of logins I could easily remember. For some reason, the policy for non-school PC is triple how often you need to reset a school-owned one. Anyways, I disconnected, yet I still
have the organizational restrictions on my login and consistently have to change everything but my fingerprint, which doesn't always work. Here are the repo steps...

1. Settings -> Accounts -> Access work or school.
2. Click the profile you wish to disconnect and select "Disconnect".
3. A) Wait for a month or two until it requires pin reset.
   
   B) Go to Settings -> Accounts -> Sign-in options and click pin or password. Below it will give you a list of organizational restrictions and hold you to them when creating the pin.

I can live without a fix, but personally i want my school of my laptop since I won't be going there soon anyways.

 

Impossible to disconnect a school account

Hey there

I am having troubles deleting my former university account from windows 10.

This scenario occurs when I try to disconnect my former School organizational (Office 365) account.

I follow the traditional procedure Settings > Account > Access work or school > "XXX account" > Disconnect.

When I click "Disconnect", the page loads and then this very account reappears for some unknown reason.

When I click on "Manage" (to manage this particular school account), I am redirected to Sign in to your account where
I can see written "Windows Workplace joined".

When I left university, I know that my account got disabled.

I also receive on a regular basis a notification from windows telling me that this particular account needs fixing. When I try to reconnect to it (knowing that the account is disabled), the error code 135011 pops up.

This is a different error that the one explained and solved

here.

FYI, I am signed in with a local account, non admin.

Anybody knows how to solve this without wiping my whole windows 10 ?

Thanks in advance for your help

Rom
