    Password complexity setting for AD domain with Windows 10 workstations


    I am trying to setup the Windows 10 password policy for our office workstation. Seems like there is a 'Password must meet complexity requirements' option in the policy setting, which require any 3 combination out of 5 criteria. But I cannot set custom combination e.g. upper case + low case + numeric or special characters, anyone have experience with this? Is there other setting in Windows that I can force users to use certain combination of characters? or need third part tools to do so?Thank you in advance.Eric

    :)

    Could you take the images of your password policy? Is your computer joined to a domain or not?
    Please check out this article:
    Change password policy settings - Windows Help

    Make sure the policy "Password must meet complexity requirements" is disabled.

    Added windows 10 workstation to the domain and cannot get start menu

    Added windows 10 workstation to the domain and cannot get start menu. Have run sfc to no avail. It works fine when I sign on as local admin, just not as a domain user. Has anyone else seen this before?

    Password Complexity

    Windows Phone has supported complex passwords (and this includes alphanumeric) since 7.5, but the option only kicks in when a corporate Exchange account that requires complex passwords is added to the phone.
