Disable "Windows Hello"
It can be done if you have Intune licenses.
If you haven't any, I suggest the workaround as following
First Setup a Intune trial
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/fundamentals/free-trial-sign-up#sign-up-for-a-microsoft-intune-free-trial
assigning one license to a random user, so we gain access to the Intune portal
https://devicemanagement.microsoft.com
Go to Devices > Windows > Windows Device enrollment
https://devicemanagement.microsoft.com/#blade/Microsoft_Intune_DeviceSettings/DevicesWindowsMenu/windowsEnrollment
Click on Windows Hello for Business and at the bottom, at the "Configure Windows Hello for Business" select Disable, Apply
Please be advised to cancel the trial after completing this steps, so you will not be billed in the future.
Note: The Intune portal might change time to time, (design, arrangements )
I just want to burn everything that has to do with Windows Hello with a blowtorch.
Why do they do this? When they do **bleep** like this I honestly feel like signing every single microsoft center up to scientology, jehovas witnesses, other various spam packages and see how they like being bombarded with CRAP noone asked for. F*** OFF!
My problem with it is that it's invasive. At no point are you asked if you want to activate it and there's no obvious way to disable it. I could probably disable it if I had the time, but for gods sake. Why force it upon people without asking? It's dirty practices and deserves to be spat on.
- It has to do with safety on the Identity side of things. Identity is the new control plane and those looking to just secure their perimeter are obviously not getting the point of a Cloud Connected world. Windows Hello brings great benefit to user simplicity when it comes to logging on and security through conditional access for instance. I'd be happy to point you to the right articles for a better understanding. Start with this one: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/identity-protection/hello-for-business/hello-identity-verification
- I agree!
