  1. Desktop log-in


    How do i stop my computer from setting the PIN log in as default. I never setup a PIN and do not want to as it is less secure than my password. but all of a sudden windows 10 insists on setting the PIN login as default. this is annoying cause i will type in my password and then my computer will reject me making it take much longer to log in.

    :)

    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
