You're encountering an issue where the system keeps re-enabling the pinless authentication feature even after attempting to disable it. This might be due to a configuration conflict or a misalignment in how Windows handles the settings. Check the relevant registry entries and ensure the pinless mode is properly disabled before restarting the VM.
It's not much of an answer, but here's what my experience is with that feature : If you install Windows with a local account (not a Microsoft account), at some point, an update will force you to use a Microsoft account and then use a pin to login. That feature is bugged and sometimes will simply lock you out of your computer. As for Windows Hello, it requires a camera of some sort. But once Windows detects a camera, it really wants to impose Windows hello... Try unplugging your camera, maybe the message will go away or at least allow you to turn off the feature. Message to Microsoft : stop thinking your users are idiots. Guess who are the idiots ?
