DISABLE the Windows 11 Lock Screen and Password
After disabling the Win 11 Lock Screen and Password
under user accounts.
It was working fine for the entire day and then overnight I woke up the PC and I had to login with my password and it forced me to
create a new pin.
Under "Accounts"
I had to remove the pin option again.
But Win is still asking for a password.
Is it possible to make this perminent?

Another way that you could disable this is via regkey
Press Win + R, type regedit, press Enter.
Navigate to:(If Personalization doesn’t exist, right-click Windows > New > Key → name it Personalization.)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization
In the right pane, right-click → New > DWORD (32-bit) → name it:
NoLockScreen
Set its Value data to 1.
Restart → Lock screen disabledAnother way that you could disable this is via regkey

Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
Navigate to the following path in the left pane:
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Control Panel -> Personalization
In the right pane, double-click the policy called "Do not display the lock screen".
Select Enabled.
Click Apply and then OK.
Restart your computer or sign out and back in. You will now go directly to the password/PIN sign-in screen instead of the lock screen.
