Windows 10: Conflicted over this new PIN actions?

I have been using a PIN for several years now. I recently purchased a Dell Optiplex 3050, a refurb with Win 10 Pro. I went to sign on options and thought I selected as I always had, the PIN, but only for sign on in the past. I have another PC that's is acting as I would expect. But this newest refurb is asking for the PIN everywhere. What is going on here may I ask? I did ask myself but no answer. So I'm hoping you have one. Thanks!Signed, I should know better I've been around PC's for decades.

Check out the Wargame and World in Conflict series for some great A-RTS action too. I have M&B and Warband..but never played em.... Maybe total war series might be a good choice step for you?

 

Why doesn't my pin work with the anniversary edition?

Hi Nancy,

We would like to know more about the issue. Before you had the Anniversary Update, were you using an 8-digit PIN?

For the meantime, we suggest that you remove the current PIN and create a new PIN. You can do that by following these steps:

• Select the Start button, type Settings, and select it from the list of results.
  
• Choose Accounts.
  
• Select Sign-in options.
  
• Under PIN, select Remove.
  

After you have deleted your current PIN, create a new 4-digit PIN by following these steps:

• Select the Start button, type Settings, and select it from the list of results.
• Choose Accounts.
• Select Sign-in options.
• Under PIN, select Add.

Once you have created your new 4-digit PIN, restart your computer and sign-in using the new 4-digit PIN.

Note: It is very important that you remove then create a new PIN rather than changing the current PIN.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.

 

Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

Does anybody know how to clear the "Pin suggested" list on the "People bar"?

Contacts are added to the "Pin suggested" list once you've pinned and unpinned them. But there seems to be no obvious way to remove them from that list.

After playing around with this feature and pinning and unpinning many dummy contacts, it's rather annoying to see them in the "Pin suggested" list when you click on the "My People" icon in the taskbar.
