Windows 10: Can’t log in - only airplane mode options and “error with PIN set up”

After I installed a new update for Windows on my brand new Alienware 4090 NVIDIA PC, upon restart there are no WiFi options to choose, just airplane mode. In addition, when i go to sign in I get an error that says “Something happened and your PIN isn’t available. Click to set up your PIN again.”The problem is, i can’t set up a new pin without WiFi and I have no WiFi options because the only thing that shows up is the airplane mode icon.

After updating Windows10, I can't log in because my pc can only be in airplane mode.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble logging into your computer after updating Windows 10. It sounds like your computer is only able to be in airplane mode, which is preventing you from accessing the internet and logging in.

To resolve this issue, you will need to disable airplane mode on your computer. You can do this by following these steps:

1. Click on the wireless icon in the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open the Network and Internet settings.
   
2. In the Network and Internet settings, click on the "Airplane mode" option on the left side of the screen.
   
3. On the right side of the screen, toggle the switch next to "Airplane mode" to the off position. This will disable airplane mode on your computer.
   

Once you have disabled airplane mode, you should be able to connect to the internet and log into your computer.
