Windows Hello

[roadman]

I woke up early this morning and sauntered to the desktop. A blue microsoft screen showed up and asked me for account login and password.

Before I know it, Windows Hello is on my screen and I'm furious. I had a simple Windows login prior to this and all my Google Work Apps with Google Home. Now, I can't find how to get rid of Windows Hello and back to my original set up because Bing/Hello are all over the place.

I looked at Account Settings, Sign In Option and this is what I have. Face and fingerprint currently unavailable. Hello Pin (Recommended), Security Key, Password and Picture Password. All of those options except Picture Password have the remove option.

Next, Require Sign In(when PC wakes from sleep), dynamic lock, Privacy on and off toggle, and Use my sign-in which is in the on position.

I really don't want to go to the Windows Registry if possible. All I receive when searching in Google, Settings > Accounts > Sign in- Options > Right Panel Windows Hello Remove.

I don't have the Windows Hello Remove option, just the options noted above.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not sure if you can remove it, but you can disable it. http://techdumpz.com/disable-windows...ometric-login/

This was so weird.

Below Picture password, select Remove

I didn't have that option under Picture password, I just clicked on it and I look up, and all of sudden, I'm back to my set up. Thank you, I think?

I'm still shaking my head.
