Windows 10: Windows 10 forces me to enter PIN / password on startup now. How can I revert this?

I use a desktop computer that sits in my room at home. I have no need to enter a PIN / password on startup, and previously, I never had to. The most recent update has forced this change and I can't figure out how to disable it.I already have the supposed option to require a pin/password turned off: https://i.imgur.com/u6X6MQF.pngVersion: Windows 10 Education 10.0.18363 Build 18363

Is it possible not to enter the password/PIN at Window startups?

You may have missed a step. After the un-check, click apply, then the next screen will ask for the Pasword twice. Enter and OK. Then OK again. That should do it.

 

Is it possible not to enter the password/PIN at Window startups?

1. I have linked my Microsoft account to my digital license.
2. Via "netplwiz", I have deselected "User must enter a user name and password to use this computer" for the said account.
3. I have set a Windows Hello PIN.
4. At Windows startups, I have to enter either the password or the PIN.

How can I spare the trouble of entering them?

 

Windows Startup password

Is it possible to remove a startup password without being able to log into the system? A friend's laptop just prompt her today for a password that she never enabled. Now, she does have a standard user account password, but that doesn't work for the startup password. She had the computer for about a year now and it has never asked for a startup password until today.

I tried to use Hiren Boot CD to run a diagnostic on the laptop, but it has a bsod. Windows 10 normal boot crashes as well
