    Hi Abraham,

    I'm Sumit, here to help with your query on the Microsoft Q&A forums.

    Apologies for any inconvenience you are experiencing. I am happy to help you today.

    Please turn off the slider titled:

    For improved security, only allow Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this

    device (Recommended)

    This should disable the Sign in Windows Hello requirement, which should enable the Remove PIN button.

    I hope you find this information useful. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Otherwise, please take a moment to accept the answer. Wishing you good luck!

    I wish I had an answer for you, but I do not. The reason is I’m having the same problem as well. I’m trying to take off my pin and does not work.
