With Copilot several hours during the last Three Days, this AI is Stupid, as for remote tech support, out of 2 sessions today, neither tech assoc. sent the session recover info., each made a change(s), rebooted the laptop!

Hi Kevin,
I can't speak on behalf of the support experience since I am indepedent, but I think I might be able to help you with the technical question you might have. You only wrote "disable Windows Hello PIN". Do you want to stop Windows from asking you for PIN, and want to use password instead, or you want to set up auto log in without asking PIN or Password.
Can you currently access Windows?
Sorry, I was less than clear! Yes, I want it disabled, it's set off by lack of activity, and MS is the arbiter of that on my machine... CRAP!
can you get into Windows now? If so, go to Settings > Accounts > Sign in options, scroll down ,Make sure "For improved security, only allow Windows Hello Sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device (Recommended). " is turned OFF.
if you don’t see that option or if that option is grayed out, Can you go to your Windows Settings > Accounts > Access Work or School (note, it is the briefcase icon, not the envelope or person icon). Then see if the organization email address is still listed? If so, click on it and then disconnect it. Restart the computer and then try again.
I can enter my "settings > accounts > sign-in options" just fine! But "For improved security, only allow Windows Hello Sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device (Recommended)." This string I placed in the search bar, "no results for improved security... ". I even placed "Hello Sign-in" no results for Hello Sign-in.
So, now I'll check your next suggestion, Windows Settings > Accounts > Access Work or School = Not set!
Thanks for responding!
It should look like this
If it is still missing, type regedit in the search on the taskbar to launch Registry Editor, then go to this location
You can then copy and paste this string in the address bar in Registry Editor
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Device
Then share a screenshot for me please.
