Windows Hello appearing for users when using Azure AD - Say "Goodbye" to Windows Hello

 Given the current state of the world, we have been migrating many clients to a Cloud based solution - predominately 365 with Azure AD; situationally dependant.

A bug bear is Windows Hello - if you're using Azure AD without intune or endpoint then this annoying feature will try and enable itself on your workstations and it's a total pain.

So here's a quick registry fix to get rid of it - no need to edit the local policy (this is the same). Just apply the reg and say Goodbye to Windows Hello

-- copy the below contents into a text file and save as a .reg --
