  1. Windows Hello - PIN option is temporary unavailable after screen lock


    I sometimes get the PIN is temporary unavailable message when login in after the screen being locked. When it happens I can only login using the password instead. However, when rebooting the PIN is working again. It only sometimes happens after the screen being locked, never on boot.Do you know what could the cause of this? A problem with the TPM seems unlikely to me, as it works on reboot?It started happening in the past weeks, never before install dates from almost 4 years, I'm using the Windows Hello PIN since about a year.I am on Windows 10 Enterprise, 22H2, OS build 19045.4412

    :)

    PIN went away. Now when I go into create a PIN I get "Something went wrong. Try again later". The step prior is: Start.>Settings>Accounts>Sign in Options>Windows Hello PIN and it reads "This options is currently unavailable - click to learn more". I
    followed the steps suggested, but they don't work

    Suggestions?.

    Login with PIN and Hello

    Hi Jean,

    Windows 10 includes multiple options to sign-in to your account, including the ability to sign-in using a PIN and Windows Hello, which uses facial recognition. For us to provide a solution suited to your concern, we need additional information. Can
    you answer the questions below?

    • How are you setting the PIN and Hello?
    • Which build version of Windows is your PC running on?
    • Were there any error codes or messages?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you follow the steps below on how to set up PIN.

    • Open Settings.
    • Select Accounts.
    • Click Sign-in options.
    • Click the Add button for the PIN and set your PIN.
    • Do the same for the Windows Hello.

    Looking forward to your response.
