    can't add Hello Pin to my Windows 10 Pro/ can't link my Windows to my Microsoft Account


    Adding Pin: When I click on "Add" under "Windows Hello PIN" under "Sign-in options", a window pops up saying "Search for app in the Store? You need to install an app for this task"


    Linking to Microsoft Account: I decided to try to reinstall Windows 10 to fix this something I don't really want to do if I have another option. But to do that, support.microsoft.com says I should first link my Windows to my Microsoft Account by clicking "Add an account" in "Add a Microsoft Account". But when I do that it takes me to the "Search for app in the Store? You need to install an app for this task" window.


    How do I fix these issues?

    :)

    Can't use Windows Hello & Pin

    I always use windows hello but all of a sudden it only lets me use a pin with the message"Your Pin is required to sign in". I can't even select windows hello. Tried to click "i forgot my pin" but my surface go didn't respond, and now i can't log in at all.

    Restarted several times. I'm not sure if i set up a password with this account. I didn't link the surface to my Microsoft account either.

    Thanks in advance for the help!
