Windows 10: prompted 'by your organization' to change my PIN - Why?

Hi, I am being prompted 'by your organization' to change my PIN. I do not have a PIN expiration set in Passportforwork. So where is this coming from? A previous string mentioned that a corrupted MS account could cause this, but I don't understand the instructions how to test this. I have limited technical knowledge to mess with my PC. This is Windows 11. Thanks for your help!

I am being prompted to change my pin because of "my organization".

I have owned my laptop for several years, it has never been a work computer or had any organization work on it. Yesterday when I went to enter my pin I was prompted that I needed to change my pin because of my organization and the pin requirements are
for a longer pin. I have always had the same pin and I do not want to change it. I am most worried about this "organization" prompt. Anyone advise on this? I thought it might have been me logging into my school email for the first time but I see no reason
I should have to change my pin for that since I have to enter a password for the email. If it is the email log in how to I reverse it?

 

Organization requires changing PIN

I am currently having an issue with being forced to change my pin. The prompt states that it is my organization that requires this. This is my personal computer and I am the only user on it. I have tried the solutions on other questions, but none of them
have worked. I cannot find the setting to change this anywhere on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

"your organization requires you to change your pin" and "*Some of these settings are hidden or managed by your organization"

This is the 2nd time this happened and now it's back. This is all on my personal laptop. Windows uses my personal microsoft account

First time it happened (around July 22):

About a month or two ago, I got the pin change message. I was confused because my organization should not be accessing any of my Windows account. That said, MS Office 365 is associated with my University's outlook account. Not sure if it matters,
but my uni is based in London. My PC (and me) are in USA.

I change my pin and immediately after, my PC starts doing a full windows reset with everything wiped.

O had to contact Microsoft chat support a few times. Ultimately, they had to reinstall windows and promised it'd not happen again.

This time (Tues, Sept. 1)

I log in with my pin and I get the "your organization requires you to change your pin" today.

Recent events that happened:

1) I paired my bluetooth headphones to my computer today. (i connected fine but this is where I saw "*Some of these settings are hidden or managed by your organization"

2) I earlier contacted MS Support Sunday about OneDrive creating an empty duplicate folder (minor issue that I didnt finish fixing yet).

I am not changing my pin because I'm afraid it will reset my computer again and I don't want to do that. I don't want the support agent messing around and going through the whole reinstalling windows solutions because it seems to be coming back anyway.

What I tried so far:

• I tried Andre's response on
  this thread. I failed because option 1) the NGC folder I got a message saying I don't have access to it and it says "you do not have permissions to view this object's security properties, even as an administraor", and option 2) when switching to a local
  account and back, I log out back in & again it says I need my organization requires a new pin (i.e. doesnt fix the problem)
  
• I also tried a handful of GP edit suggestions from other threads here. None worked.
  
• I also tried this Mike P's suggestion
  here (accidentally misreading password as pin)

I'm hoping I can get this resolved because it seems like the full windows reinstallation did not even work. (I'm guessing because the reinstallation of my MS Office or my OneDrive account is the cause??)

I know a Rubiks cube is prob easier to solve but can anyone help with this?
