If the security questions aren't something you want in your local account, in this guide, we show you the steps to disable the feature on Windows 10.
Although it's a useful feature to quickly reset your password, the recovery questions can also make your device vulnerable, as a malicious individual might be able to guess your high school name, the city you were born, and your pet's name, for example, to gain unauthorized access to your account and files.
Despite Windows 10 not including a setting to disable the feature, if you use a local account (without a Microsoft account), and you prefer not to use the security questions, you can turn off this functionality using the Local Group Policy Editor or Registry.
In this Windows 10 guide, we walk you through the steps to disable the security questions to reset the password of a local account.
