Windows 10: Getting a pin to open windows 11

Pin to open windows 11

Pinned file not opening Windows 11

Hi Community,

I just moved from Windows 10 to Windows 11. One of key feature in MS for efficient work is the possibility to "pin to list" in most office applications Excel/ Word etc... thus you can open the most freq used files quickly from a simple right click.

I am using this on daily basis, and since I have moved to W11, those pinned file won't open [ hover on Excel logo in task bar, right click, open pinned file] . I tried to remove all pinned files, and pin them again to the list, but nothing to do, it won't open. The same issue also occurs for recent files that won't open.

This applies across the board for all app in task bar, all rick click action are not doing anything

This issue defeat the purpose of higher productivity that W11 shall deliver.

Would you please provide a solution to troubleshoot the feature. Thanks in advance

 

Windows 11 - Windows hello PIN and Camera face recognition do not work

Hi,

Windows 11 - Windows hello PIN and Camera face recognition do not work, for both of them, when reaching the final step, the window closes before saying completed, and nothing happens

Steps to replicate on my PC - WIN 11:

1. Situation 1 - Trying to change PIN:
   
   1. Settings - Accounts - Pin(Windows Hello)
      
   2. Although i'm currently using a PIN to log into my user, I only get 1 button: Setup
      
   3. Press Setup - Create a PIN - Next
      
   4. Making sure it's you - I add my PIN - Just a moment - the window closes, nothign happens
      
2. Situation 2 - Trying to add Face recognition:
   
   1. Settings - Accounts - Facial recognition (Windows Hello) - Setup
      
   2. Welcome to Windows hello - Get started
      
   3. My face is scanned, i get a blue loading square, and dots on my things
      
   4. A couple more things
      
   5. Improbve recognition - if i skip this steps it does not make a difference
      
   6. A couple more things - Set up PIN
      
   7. Microsoft Account - Create a PIN - Next
      
   8. Making sure it's you - I add my PIN - Just a moment - the window closes, nothign happens
      

I initially thought my webcam was the issue, but then chaging the PIN does not work either, and it has nothing to do with the camera

I talked with someone from support (support request number is 1056162110), and we tried different things until 3:30 AM my time, about 1:30 h.

On my laptop (win 10) with the same account, face recognition and PIN works, I have not tried to change them.

Is there any way to reset PIN on an account level? Or repair windows?

What else should i try?
