So I removed a lot of preinstalled windows programs including windows Hello with revo uninstaller. I didnt realize the logging in with pin was connected to it.
How do I manually reinstall it? I do not have a system restore point of it anymore because this happened months ago and I am just now getting annoyed enough from having to type my password every time.

In the Settings > accounts > sign-in options there isn't any options available for windows hello (including the pin). Windows update did not help either.

I am running windows 11 pro.

    Hello there! I am Charity, I'm an Independent Advisor. I'm glad to help you today!

    My apologies about that. Please try reinstalling Windows hello feature.

    Go to Settings > Apps > Optional features.

    Under the “Installed features” heading, type “facial recognition” (or "Windows Hello") in the search bar.

    Click on the feature and select Uninstall if it’s still there. Restart your computer.

    Go back to Settings > Apps > Optional features.

    Click on View features next to “Add an optional feature”.

    Search for “Facial Recognition (Windows Hello)” and select it. Click Next, then Install.

    Restart your computer after installation.

    Please keep me know if this worked for you.

    Kind Regards,

    Charity
