I did not uninstall or remove LifeSafe prior to upgrading LifeSafe versions.<\/p>\n<p>After upgrading LifeSafe, both PCs started requiring you to sign-in twice &#8212; hit spacebar, bringing up the screen to enter the PIN, enter the PIN, goes back to original screen, hit spacebar, enter PIN, &#038; Windows 10 then starts.<\/p>\n<p>The solution was to run Netplwiz &#8212; I right clicked the Start Button &#038; selected Run, entering netplwiz &#8212; clearing the only checkbox [to require sign-in], which brought up another dialog to enter user name &#038; password. Restarted, &#038; this time had two user names or account on the sign-in screen &#8212; chose the regular, old one, entered the PIN, &#038; Windows started. Ran Netplwiz again, checking the box this time, &#038; restarted.
