  1. Problems with PIN after update


    Hi,After updating my Windows 11, I encountered an issue when trying to authenticate into my account, with the error message "Your PIN is no longer available due to a change to the security settings on this device" and it wouldn't allow me to update or insert another authentication method. However, I managed to solve the problem to log into my profile, but only with the default password. I cannot recover the PIN because when I try to initiate the process, I get an error message stating "You will need the internet for this," even though I'm connected to the internet I can browse and use applica

  2. Since recent update KB3200970 I cannot use nor setup a PIN to sign in and MS Office2016 disappeared

    Thank you for the update. We suggest for you to reset the login PIN. Here are the steps:

    • Click on the Start Menu and select settings.
    • Now select Accounts.
    • Next select the tab Sign-in option.
    • Click on I Forget the PIN and follow the on screen instructions.

    Update us with the result.

    Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

    Thanks Josey Wales,

    I can pin and unpin People contacts to the taskbar without problems, but these contacts will still show up on the "Pin suggested" list. It's this list I want to clear, because some contacts or double and some are dummy contacts. It's not that big of a deal, but it's rather annoying to have them suggested to me.

    Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

    Does anybody know how to clear the "Pin suggested" list on the "People bar"?

    Contacts are added to the "Pin suggested" list once you've pinned and unpinned them. But there seems to be no obvious way to remove them from that list.

    After playing around with this feature and pinning and unpinning many dummy contacts, it's rather annoying to see them in the "Pin suggested" list when you click on the "My People" icon in the taskbar.
