Hello @otis ,
Thanks for reaching out to Hexnode. I understand the problem you’re facing with the options mentioned in the solution.
Starting with Windows 10 version 2004 (20H1), the options “For improved security, only allow Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device (Recommended)” and “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” may not be visible by default depending on the type of account used to sign in to the device (local or Microsoft). This can be resolved using a PowerShell script.
The following script will disable the “Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts” option by modifying the respective registry settings:
New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Device" -Name DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion -Value 0 -Type Dword –Force
Execute the above script in Windows PowerShell and then try to re-open the User Accounts control panel. You should now be able to access the “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” option.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact me if you need any further assistance.
Regards,
George
