I can't remove my Windows Hello PIN.

I tried by going to Accounts/Sign-in options/PIN (Windows Hello) but the "remove" button is blocked. I can't press it.

Does anyone know how I can remove the Windows Hello PIN?

    It's likely due to a Group Policy or security setting preventing you from removing the PIN. Here are some steps you can try to remove it using the registry:

    • Press Windows + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialogue.
    • Type "regedit" (without quotes) and press Enter. This will open the Registry Editor.
    • Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System.
    • Look for a registry entry named "AllowDomainPINLogon."
    • If it exists and is set to "1," double-click on it and change the value to "0."
