  1. Booted PC into safe mode and it will not allow me to enter my PIN


    I have just booted my pc into safe mode and for the first time it hasn't let me enter the pin, it says "Something happened and your PIN isn't available. Click to set up your PIN again".Clicking the link does nothing and i cant even see the text entry box so i cant get in. As mentioned before this has never happened when booting into safe mode so I don't know what to do. I've tried SHIFT+RESTART and restarting with network but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    :)

    Cannot Enter Safe Mode / Computer boots normally

    I'm running Win 10 Pro 1903.

    Here are the steps I have taken to get into safe mode: Start button, settings, update and security, recovery, advanced startup, troubleshoot, advanced options, startup settings, restart. The computer boots normally, not in safe mode. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks in advance for your help and interest. .
