How do I remove windows HELLO Garbage

Question

I upgraded to Win 11 and now windows hello is making my screen lock after a few minutes. I do not want this. I dont have a camera to finish Hello set up and now I want to remove all of these features. I cannot remove the pin even if the improved security is off. Help me remove this garbage from my computer.

Answer 1

Nothing that anyone has posted here before has worked.

Everything is disabled, but the screen goes to sleep, and I have to sign back in. All my other settings are set to never (turn off the hard disk, screen, etc.)

I hope someone from Microsoft sees this and can help. I work in a place where I cannot have my screen shut off while I am not at my laptop. This is ridiculous, it only started this when I upgraded, Win 10 was fine.

Answer 2

Just go to Windows Settings > Accounts > Sign in options and change things how you like.

There was a stop using / remove Hello setting there. I've used it before so might be why I'm not seeing it right now. But, am unsure now since its not showing up :)

But, all you can do is there including disabling the lock screen which will disable it unless rebooted or manually signed out. That alone should fix your problem since it sounds like its from screen timeout.

Though, I do believe there's a setting to stop locking the screen possible in power options.
