How to skip creating Windows11 Hello PIN for new user's laptop setup?

Featured Replies

I've been given the job of installing Windows 11 on remote workers laptops.

I do a fresh installation of Windows 11 as an admin user from the media creation tool.

Then I have to create a new user account for the final end user of the laptop who's going to work on it remotely.

This is with a Microsoft 365 managed work account, not a personal account.

During the installation of the end user's account I have been asked to skip setting up the Windows Hello PIN - and leave this for the end user to do that I send the laptop to after configuring it for them.

Before sending it out, I have to login to the laptop as the end user, and make sure it's all configured and set up for them to use straight away.

I have been asked to skip setting up the Windows Hello PIN - but I cannot figure out a way to do that.

Is there some way of skipping this step please as the PIN is a company required policy and cannot be removed under Settings > Other Accounts?

Or can I setup the PIN then deleted it when the laptop is configured and ready to send to the end user?

That way the real end user can set a PIN of their choice then?

From what I've read online - this might be a workable way to remove the PIN 

Deleting the NGC Folder: Some users have found success by deleting the NGC folder, which stores PIN data. This might require taking ownership of the folder and doing it in Safe Mode.

"Try to delete the following folder: C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC"
