Hi,
Was your issue resolved?
If no, please reply and tell us the current situation in order to provide further help.
I have a similar problem. In
Settings --> change PC Settings --> PC Settings --> Users --> Sign In options
All the features are disabled except "Password". It happened after I added an MS Exchange account to Outlook. Seems it forced security group policy. I removed the account from Outlook, but still cannot use PIN. Is there a way to revers this?
After searching for a solution on and off for a couple of months, I managed to reactivate the PIN function by myself. Yay! The problem: I don't remember what exactly I did and I cannot reproduce the result so far, but here's what I believe I did:
1. Hover to a right corner
2. Click "Search"
3. Change the pull down menu from "Everywhere" to "Settings"
4. Type-in "policy". "Reset Security Policies" will show up in the result.
5. Click "Reset Security Policies". This will open "Control Panel" -> "User Accounts and Family Safety" -> "User Accounts"
6. Click "Reset Security Policies" at the bottom of the left pane. A warning window will pop up.
7. Accept the warning.
Now go to "PC settings" -> "Accounts" -> "Sing-in options". Voila! "Add" button under "PIN" should be enabled. I restarted my laptop before enabling PIN, but it might not be necessary. I needed to turn on my antivirus software after resetting.
Now I don't see "Reset Security Policies" in the control panel anymore, but it seems this is what is supposed to happen: I don't have any security policy to reset in the first place. I removed an Exchange account that had caused all this problem from Outlook and added it back, but it didn't disable PIN function this time. Thus I haven't been able to replicate this method so far. Hope this will help.
