I was setting up a Windows 10 Pro and picked "Setup for an organisation" during the installation when asked. I logged in using my Office 365 credentials (that uses Azure AD behind the doors, I assume). Before the completion of the setup, I ran into "Your organisation requires Windows Hello". Basically I had to setup a PIN and currently get asked of it when trying to login. I can obviously use my password as well, but I am trying to get rid of this PIN/Windows Hello feature all together.

  1. How do I disable Windows Hello PIN login throughout the entire organisation? e.g. somewhere in Azure portal, etc.
  2. I ran gpedit.msc locally, and found out the current status of Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Hello for Business is Not Configured. Making it into Disabled and rebooting didn't solve the problem (even if it did, it'd have to be run on every local machine, I assume). What am I doing wrong with this option?

  • Local policy is overridden by all other levels of policy. Otherwise it would be trivial to undo enterprise policy.

  • I see, this quite answers 2. But how to change the enterprise level policy then?

  • According to this, it can be achieved through Intune settings in Azure portal. However I get 403 when I visit device enrollment.

  • You cannot change the group policy unless you are an administrator on the domain. Since your asking, how to do that, I am guessing that’s not the case. Which means you have to disassociate your work profile from your machine. What step of that process are you stuck on exactly?

  • I am global administrator. I am looking into disabling this behavior for my organisation, for everyone. MS support tells me that I need further Intune and MDM licenses to be able to edit this behavior.
