  1. Add pin does nothing


    So, after my computer says that due to security reason my pin got disabled, i tried many ways to fix it, one of which was deleting the NGC folder and restarting, upping doing this, the add pin button will prompt me for a new pin and to confirm it, once i do a few dots by add pin spin then stop and nothing else happens, no pin gets added no matter what I try.Important note: my computer is notorious for not acting normal, I figure this be a detail not to be left out.Thanks for any future help

    :)

    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.

    Can't create pin for login. Pin stopped working

    Hi Kevin,

    To resolve your concern about creating pin to your computer, we suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Navigate to C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC (click to get permission when prompted).
    • Delete the contents of that folder (delete everything in that folder, but leave that folder and everything above it).
    • Go back to settings, accounts, sign in options.
    • Your non-working pin will now be gone, and you can just click 'add a pin' and set it again.

    Let us know how it goes.
