    Windows Hello does not save face or pin

    We appreciate the information you've provided. Since you're on an Insider build, have you installed the latest Insider Build 16188? It's possible that a fix has been included for your concern with saving the PIN and
    the biometric data, so if you haven't installed that yet, go to Settings >
    Update & Security > Windows Update >
    Check for Updates.



    We also suggest that you remove the previous PIN before you try adding a new one. Just follow these steps:


    • Click Start.

    • Type Settings and press Enter.

    • Click Accounts.

    • Select Sign-in Options on the left side of the screen.

    • Click Remove under PIN on the right side of the screen.

    • Click Remove one more time to confirm.

    • Type your Microsoft account password to verify and click
      OK.



    Once the old PIN has been removed, you should be able to add and save a new one, along with the biometric data for face recognition.



    Let us know if you're able to save your PIN after following these steps.
