Windows 10: How do I prevent "This sign in option is disabled" such that I can repeatedly mistype my...

Dear community,I do not know if this is a repeated question, nonetheless:How do set up Windows 11 login such that I can mistype my PIN/ password multiple time without ending up in "This sign in option is disabled"?I do not want any of the other login options but re-enter my PIN/ password if I mistyped it, e.g. due to hastily typing it.I.e. I do not want to connect my phone, use my biometrics or whatever option there is besides entering a password/PIN.Yet I do not want to have to enter my Microsoft-account credentials everytime this happens.Especially, if the battery of the respective Microsoft

Sign in option disabled.

Hi, Nancy.

I'm Jen. I'm an independent advisor and would happily help you figure this out.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues signing in to your PC. Aside from failed attempts, it could be due to corrupted windows files or if your PC shudowns repeatedly. To help you troubleshoot, I suggest following the steps in the link below.

Feel free to share how it went.

Kind regards.

"This sign-in option is disabled because of failed sign-in attempts or repeated shutdowns".

We are regularly getting the following error message on one of our devices:

"This sign-in option is disabled because of failed sign-in attempts or repeated shutdowns. Use a difference sign-in option or keep your device powered on for at least 2 hours and then try again."

We do not have any other sign in option available to us on the device, and so are having to wait for 2 hours each time the message appears which results in the computer being unusable for a significant amount of time.

We are not repeatedly entering the password, as suggested by the error message, this message is appearing when we initially start up the computer. The computer is shutdown correctly at the end of the day, and not multiple times as suggested by the error message.

This error message seems to be appearing on our device several times throughout the week.

 

Windows Hello preventing options on requiring sign-in

I got a new Lenovo laptop computer and it was working great but the last month or so it requires me to login every time I step away...I used to have it set for a longer time iirc because it's in a home setting, but when I go to Sign-in options now it tells me:

"Windows Hello is preventing some options from being shown." (screen capture attached)

(and it's stuck on "Every Time").

Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.
