Windows 10: Windows 10 - Disable Windows Hello - Registry / GPEDIT not working

I do not want to even entertain the idea of using the PIN based login for Windows Hello, yet I am forced to create one.Brand new OOBE install of Windows 10 Enterprise, AzureAD login, and once all done you get the "Your organisation requires you to use a PIN", well my Office365/AzureAD setup isn't forcing Windows Hello, hell I don't even have Intune setup to force any policies like that.I have google'd and goodle'd to find an answer so that the PIN is FOREVER disabled.I have set the registry value from 1 to 0 - Didn't workI have set the "Turn on convenience PIN" to disabled - Didn't workPlease

Any Windows update breaks my Creative sound drivers. Best way for me is to disable it via group policy:

• Go to Run –> gpedit.msc
• In the Group Policy Editor, go to Computer Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> System –> Device Installation –> Device Installation Restrictions
• In the right hand pane, select “Prevent installation of devices not described by other policy settings” and set it to Enabled.

Once that's done, uninstall the driver Windows put in there and install the correct one.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
