Your PIN is not available. 0x80280013

Whenever I leave my computer for a while and it goes to sleep and I try to enter my pin this error appears - "Your PIN is not available. 0x80280013". This problem goes away after restarting the computer. How do I fix this?

Things I have tried:

• Changing the PIN
  
• Deleting the Ngc folder
  

Nothing seems to be working.

I am running 64-bit windows 10

 

Pin login is unavailable with error code 0x80280013

Frequently I an encounter this error page with error code 0x80280013. This would occur when my finger print login fails and then pin fails. It's not because I displace my finger, as it says, something wrong at Microsoft's end. I must use passwd to login.
Then perhaps in the afternoon sometimes, my finger print login (after a screen saver activate) or pin login working again without me changing my pin. So obviously my pin and finger print data is correct, Windows 10 just cannot process it.

 

Received error code 0x80280013 when I try to login with my pin

When I try to login with my pin, I receive error code 0x80280013 something went wrong and your pin isn't available. When I tried to change my pin it says we weren't able to setup your PIN. You can try again, or skip this step and set up a PIN later. When I click skip for now, it sends my back to the lock screen. I'm not given any other option to sign in other than using my PIN, No option to use my password. Can't login to my Laptop at all.
