Windows 10: Set MS Windows 11 permanently to stop asking for sign-in password or pin

Please Microsoft, stop being such an annoying nanny. My personal desktop PC at home is not accessible to anyone except me. When I turn it on I don't want to be constantly prompted to sign in to my Microsoft account which itself is endlessly annoying as you can't just sign in. MS insists on the endless complicated sign ins. Even after setting my account not to require a password or pin to auto-start, MS keeps re-setting that. I'm not even allowed to set an easy repeated pin entry or password.Please don't lecture me on security. I have a hearty password manager, encrypted router authentication

Windows 10 Xbox App asking for PIN number I never set.

Hi,

If you signed in to Windows 10 using your Microsoft account, the Xbox app will take the credentials you've used to sign in. There's a possibility that the PIN code you're asked to enter is the PIN code of your Windows 10 user account. Let's remove the PIN
code. Here are the steps:

• Click Start and select Settings.
• Select Accounts.
• Select Sign-in options, under PIN, click
  Remove.
• Confirm the changes by entering your profile password.

Refer to
Can I sign in to Windows without a password for the steps on how to change the sign-in options for your Windows 10 device.

If the same instance occurs after removing the PIN code and changing your user account's sign-in options, we suggest that you sign in to
Xbox.com. This is to verify if there's an issue with your Xbox account.

Keep us posted with the results. We'd be glad to further assist you.
