Removing Windows 10 startup PIN.

Just installed Windows 10 Home every time I boot it asks for a PIN, how do you turn it off?

Thanks

go into settings, then into accounts and there is an option on the left hand menu for sign in options. Go into that and select what way you want to sign in.

Thanks, good to know it's a simple setting.

One of the many things i haven't got round to "fixing" yet myself after installing few days ago.

That sill not stop you needing to sing in only change the way you sign in.

Oh that is a pain. I think in the end I created a new user account without one and deleted the old account.

Win+r control userpasswords2 in check users must sign in enter your details when prompted and it will auto log in.

That one sufficed. Many thanks. Saves dicking about with other stuff.

Don't suppose anyone knows a page/site/blog that goes through general obnoxious win10 things with solutions? There's always something that I seem to discover that I've missed. I swear Win7 didn't require this much tweaking to make it less annoying.
