No Option to Require Password in Netplwiz.exe

Just did a reinstall of Windows 11.

Upon opening Netplwiz, ther is no option to require a password.

I'm forced every boot to put in my PIN.

I want to automatically log in.

Hello there, this is Emily.

You will need to do this step first. Go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options.

Half way down that page, look for "For improved security, only allow Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device (Recommended)", turn that toggle "off".

Then you can go to netplwiz and find the check box for the "require password".
