Windows 10: 2hour Lockout Continuing with correct PIN

This issue just started happening: the two local users of our PC are getting locked out when the CORRECT pin is entered on the login screen. Security Policy is set to lockout after 0 attempts. Even so, Windows is forcing a 2hr wait before another login attempt is possible. Everything is up to date, correct PIN is being entered.This seems like a recurrent issue for Windows 11 users, where is the patch/fix?Is this a power issue?

Eliminate continual request for Picture or PIN as sign in

Hello Elaine,

Setting up a PIN is is good, however if you don't want to be asked to setup a PIN or Picture password, I suggest that you try these steps below:

1. When you're on the login screen, click on the icon on the right under the Sign in.
2. After clicking, enter your password as usual.
3. The request for PIN or Picture should disappear.

It may seem to be a workaround but I also suggest that you submit your issue using the
Feedback Hub. You can either vote on an existing submission or submit a new issue. When you submit a feedback item, we gather additional details and information about your issue that will help determine what's causing it
and address it. Feedback items regularly receive Microsoft responses on the submissions in the Feedback app so you can see what we are doing about your feedback. Please revisit frequently to see the status of your feedback items.



In order to submit a new feedback, please follow these steps:

1. On a Windows 10 device, search for "Feedback Hub" in Cortana search, then launch the app.
2. Navigate to Feedback in the left menu, then press +
   Add new feedback.
3. Select the Problem, and share any details you think are relevant, and choose an appropriate category and subcategory.

1. Important: If possible, reproduce the problem(s) after clicking
   Begin monitoring (or
   Start capture) near the end of the form;
   Stop monitoring when you're done.

1. Once you've completed the form and monitoring, click Submit.
2. Click Continue using Feedback Hub.
3. Click My feedback at the top, then find the item you submitted (it may take a while to appear).
4. Open the item you submitted, then click Share.
5. Click Copy link, then paste the link here in your response ( it will look like
   https://aka.ms/<unique link> ).
