Hey !
My machine asks me to change the PIN at startup every about a month.
How can this be eliminated so that you don't have to change your pin code the other way you want?
The operating system is Windows 10 Home
Home version.win 1o login secret word fault? User Account Bug?
Thank you in advance for your reply

If there is a property called Expiration under this key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\PassportForWork\PINComplexity
delete it. This would have been something you added as it's not normally there in Windows 10 Home.
