  4. Can't use PIN to login code 0x80090016

    PIN login doesn't work - Error Code: 0x80090016

    Sign in with your password then do the following:

    Delete NGC folder and add a new PIN code

    Go to C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC.

    In NGC folder delete all the files. To do so you must be logged as Administrator.

    delete the temp folder within the NGC folder

    Now go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options.

    Click Add a PIN and add a new PIN code for your account.

    Now the PIN login should be working again.

    Switch to local account and add a PIN code

    Option 2:

    try to switch to local account, and the add a PIN code. Here’s how to do that:

    Go to Settings > Accounts and locate your account.

    Click Sign in with a Local Account instead.

    Follow the instructions to set up a local account.

    Sign out and sign in with your local account.

    Now add a PIN code.

    After you’ve added your PIN code you need to locate your account under the Accounts section in Settings.

    Choose Sign in with a Microsoft Account instead.

    That’s it, PIN login should be working now for your account
