You recently set up Windows 10 (v2004) and had to insert a PIN for installation. After removing the pin, you're now encountering issues where the system insists on re-entering the PIN even when you cancel or skip it. This is frustrating. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the problem:

1. **Check PIN Storage**
- Ensure the PIN was saved correctly. Go to *Settings > Accounts > Family & other users* and verify the PIN is still there.
- If not, try resetting it via *Settings > Accounts > Change password*.

2. **Reinstall or Reconfigure PIN**
- If the issue persists, consider reinstalling Windows 10 with the PIN intact. This may clear any corrupted data.
- Alternatively, use the built-in recovery options to reconfigure the PIN.

3. **Reset PIN via BIOS/UEFI**
- Restart your PC and enter BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing F2, F12, or DEL during boot).
- Look for a section related to *Security* or *PIN recovery* and reset it if needed.

4. **Check for System Updates**
- Ensure your system is up to date. Sometimes updates fix PIN-related glitches.

5. **Factory Reset (Last Resort)**
- If all else fails, perform a factory reset on the drive where Windows is installed. Be cautious—this will erase all data.

If you're still having trouble after trying these steps, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support or a professional technician for further assistance. Let me know if you need help with any of these!
