How to Disable Pin Login on Windows 11 Enterprise for Gaming/HTPC
Hello,
I set up a PIN for logging into my PC in W11 Enterprise. Despite disabling the login PIN, it continues to prompt me when I try to access the computer. The PC is connected to the TV and utilized in Steam's Big Picture Mode. Before setting up the PIN, I could simply turn on the PC by pressing the power button and control it with a wireless Xbox One controller. Now, an extra step requires me to use a wireless keyboard to enter the PIN. Do you have any suggestions on how I can eliminate the PIN requirement and log in directly to my PC?
