Windows 10 Xbox App asking for PIN number I never set.

Hi,

If you signed in to Windows 10 using your Microsoft account, the Xbox app will take the credentials you've used to sign in. There's a possibility that the PIN code you're asked to enter is the PIN code of your Windows 10 user account. Let's remove the PIN
code. Here are the steps:

• Click Start and select Settings.
• Select Accounts.
• Select Sign-in options, under PIN, click
  Remove.
• Confirm the changes by entering your profile password.

Refer to
Can I sign in to Windows without a password for the steps on how to change the sign-in options for your Windows 10 device.

If the same instance occurs after removing the PIN code and changing your user account's sign-in options, we suggest that you sign in to
Xbox.com. This is to verify if there's an issue with your Xbox account.

Keep us posted with the results. We'd be glad to further assist you.

• Press Windows Key + S and enter "Power Options".
  
• Select Power Options from the results list.
• On your current plan, click the Change plan settings.
• Set Put the computer to sleep to Never and click
  Save changes.

Now, we need to reset your PIN by following these steps:

• Open the Settings app and go to Accounts >
  Sign-in options.
