Windows 10: can't setup "PIN" to login to windows

this is a weird problem. i logged into my college email using the Mail app in windows 10. after that i got a message that tells me that i need to setup a new PIN to login to windows (my old PIN was 4 digits) and the new Required one should be more than 6 digits. so i changed it to a +6 digits and after that i removed it (to revert it back to what it was before) and now i can't setup a new pin and i got this new message

im using windows 10 home

Login Setup won't take a PIN

Hello,

I have exact same issues with pin-code login (but I don't have fingerprint scanner).

When I (logged in as administrator) open abovementioned folder C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService

I have no \AppData\ folder in there.

System File Checker tool performed some checks, even reported few fixes, but did
not resolve pin code issue.
