Windows 10: Why is Windows 10 forcing me to log in with "Windows Hello" or my Microsoft password now?

After most recent windows update, my Windows 10 computer won't let me login with a passcode anymore.

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

Windows 10

I may still end up skipping this version of Windows.

• I do NOT like the new start menu
• I do NOT like having to use a Microsoft account
• I do NOT want to have to enter a password to log into my HOME machine
• I do NOT like how "All Programs" is now "All apps". Im not on a god damn phone or tablet.
• I do NOT like how the shut down button is at the top of the start menu
• I do NOT like Windows 8 feel

I want full Aero back.

 

Microsoft Selects Dolby Audio for Windows 10

it would've been great if microsoft added HEVC decoders, LAV filters along with other codecs with Windows 10, and developing WMP to be better than VLC, KMPlayer and such sorts of media players.

Nevertheless, this is good step for microsoft, by far.
