Windows 10: Getting stuck when trying to set up a PIN

Hi there. I just recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and I’ve been trying to set up a PIN to make signing in easier. However, whenever I try and set up a PIN I can never can manage to do so.


What happens is that I get to the “Set up a PIN” prompt and enter in my desired PIN in both the “New PIN” and “Confirm PIN” fields. (I’m just trying to create a typical numerical pin by the way, no letters or symbols.) When I press OK, the window disappears for a few seconds, and then reappears like when I first opened the prompt with none of the fields filled out. No matter how many times I try, no matter what I do, this always happens.


Pressing Cancel or the close button doesn’t work either. The prompt reappears every time I try and close it. Enabling letters and symbols and trying another PIN gives me the same result.


Is there any way I can fix this? I’d like to be able to use a PIN for my device. Thank you all in advance.

:)

Can't create pin for login. Pin stopped working

Hi Kevin,

To resolve your concern about creating pin to your computer, we suggest that you follow these steps:

• Navigate to C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC (click to get permission when prompted).
• Delete the contents of that folder (delete everything in that folder, but leave that folder and everything above it).
• Go back to settings, accounts, sign in options.
• Your non-working pin will now be gone, and you can just click 'add a pin' and set it again.

Let us know how it goes.
