  1. Hidden "Set a PIN" Windows on first logon


    Edition: Windows 10 Business

    Version: 1909

    OS Build: 18363.535


    The build is Azure AD registered and upon first logon the users are prompted to enroll with "Windows Hello".


    They click on "Setup PIN", configure for MFA, then presented with a Blue Screen with a white pulsing circle. This screen remains indefinitely.


    If you press ALT + TAB, you can find that the "Windows Security" set up a PIN window is hidden and the users have to blindly enter the PIN.


    I believe this is a bug, but does anyone else have this issue or have a fix?

    :)

    Hello,

    Try these steps:

    1. Open Registry Editor.
    2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System.
    3. Set AllowDomainPINLogon to 1.
    4. Close Registry Editor and reboot your system.
    See if you can add PIN now.

    Hope this helps!

    FingerPrint - Without Windows Hello PIN

    Hi Xinete,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    As per your query, I like to inform you that; we cannot set the finger print Logon without setting the Windows hello pin. Windows hello pin will work as an alternative option to login to your computer through finger print Logon. Windows hello
    pin will help you to login to your computer if you are unable to login to your computer through finger print authentication.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to enable finger print logon.


    • Press Windows key + r and type
      gpedit.msc
      and hit Enter.

    • Select Administrative Templates under
      Computer Configuration.

    • Select Windows Components.

    • Select Biometrics.
    In Biometrics > consider that for a home system, you might enable the following:

    1) Allow the use of biometrics

    2) Allow users to log on using biometrics



    For information, refer to the below link:
