    Hi everyoneRecently got a new PC with Windows 11 on it. I set up the PIN and have been using it for about 2 weeks without any issues. However I turned on my PC this afternoon and got a message that says:"Something happened and your PIN isn't available. Click to set up your PIN again."So I click on "Set up my PIN" below and I get another message saying:"Search for app in the Store?You need to install an app for this task.Would you like to search for one in the Stores?"Regardless of whether i click Yes or No to the above, it just takes me back to the first screen that tells me something happe

  2. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    If this doesn't work, there are other procedures available to consider.
    --- Some of them include registry changes.
    --- Are you familiar with working in the registry?

    BTW, have you saved your data along with a system image backup ready?
