Windows 10: How do I stop this PIN creation thing?

I have no clue WHY this keeps happening, but the window never appears, and I can't reach anything to stop it. I am at my wits end here, and think a factory reset maybe my only way to stop this. I can't access ANY menus from when I turn my pc on, so I have no idea on how to fix this.

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.

 

New laptop setup - hangs at PIN creation

Thanks for the suggestion, didn't follow the exact steps but a variation there of. Couldn't document the steps and order but I kept trying and EVENTUALLY I got it past that pin dilema. Thanks all for the help!
