Windows 10: Can't login with Pin code

Hello everyone,

I am using Windows 10 (Build 10586.3). When I try to login with pin code, it takes long time then it didn't login. If I change the to settings ==> Lock Screen ==> and enable "show windows background picture on the sin-in screen" it works! I tried the following solution (which is posted in many websites) to get it fixed:
---
Setting ==> Account ==> Siagn-In Options
Push "I forgot Pin" ==> sign-in as requested, when requested to create new PIN, PRESS CANCEL
Then open File Explorer Navigate to: C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC
must be logged in as an Administrator - Delete everything within that folder
Go to Settings-> Accounts->Sign-in Options
Click Add a PIN again and set your PIN
---

However, it works but when I restart the issue comes back agin. Any solution will be appreciated.

Regards,


:)

 

Pin Login won't work on Win 10 CU

Before Win CU I could login via Pin code with no issue. After it there are no way to login via Pin code. I need to turn it ON. But I can't do this because of described in first post issue. Simply can't add it.

Yep, i'm currently login via MS account password.

 

Windows 10 Home version 1709 (16299.192): Lock screen option has disappeared

Hi Dennis,

I have not yet set up a new user profile. This is a bit troublesome since the users are linked to Microsoft accounts so I can't set up two logins for the same account. Additionally, if the user profile is corrupted I would assume that Mohammed AliAli's suggestion
would simply copy the corruption from the one login to the other?

In terms of possible "corruption", I find the same issue exists on all the logins on the PC. Some of these logins had local PIN login. For these I found that an attempt to login to the PC with a PIN would show an error. It started "Something went wrong"
and included the code 0x8009002d. Logging in with a password worked, and resetting the PIN re-enabled PIN login.

Could this be the underlying cause? Is there a solution without having to re-create the logins?
