Sometime after I install Win-11, I get a message popping up on my screen, telling me that I need to change my password. I don't have no freakin' password!
But I go through the process, NOT putting in a new password, but just clicking OK, etc. to get on past the prompts. Then I'm ok for about a month, till I'm asked again to change my password.
My Question: Is there maybe a registry tweak I can use to make Win-11 stop doing that?
(for the past 100 years, or so, I've NEVER used a password on any of my (many) computers.)
Any help will be Greatly Appreciated

Helpful? Surely you jest! lol

Demanding that I change my password, when I don't even use one, is NOT Helpful at all.
But thanks for the link to the tutorials. I'll have to read them to see if my answer is in there someplace.

Well, I looked through those Tutorials, and what I need didn't seem to be in there.
It looks like I'll need to "Hack" a little deeper. lol

It seems like the Win-11 I installed last summer, didn't do that. That was maybe 21H2 or something. I'm using 22H2 now.

Most of the little annoyances in Win-11, I can deal with, thanks to some scripts and tips I've found here on this forum.
But, so far, nothing about this demand to change my password. It's not super serious, just annoying. Kind of like a fly buzzing around your head.

OK, The Info in that last Tutorial Worked!
I printed it out, for further use.
Thank you !!!

Thank you, Brink and TairikuOkami.

Now, I need to print out that fix, so I can apply it to my other ?? Win-11 PC's.
Cheers Mates!
