    Sorry, I think this is already outdated. The options on the right pane have been changed. They hid the “require sign-in” option, can’t even find it in the search box. Maybe the idea pad 1145 I’m typing on right now (which has the Home Edition version 1903) just doesn’t look like other versions. IDK

      Hi Dave, I just checked again under Windows 10 Version 1909, and the “Require sign-in” section still exist. So maybe it’s the difference of devices.
