  1. How do I stop Windows Security/Credential Manager from popping up?


    Every so often I have this problem. Windows Security will pop up and ask me to verify my identity on my PC, asking for my pin. I'll enter it, it disappears, then pops back up. I keep entering a pin and it repeats. Even exiting out or cancelling results in it coming back up. I've found zero solutions that work for me. I tried changing my pin, thinking that might fix things, but then it got stuck on that pop up. Now it shows this. Sometimes the problem goes away and I don't get it popping up for weeks or months, but it always returns. I'm at my wits end because sometimes I can't even access cert

    Windows Network Credentials

    Hi Keith,

    We suggest that you disable Credential Manager before mapping your Drives. Please follow these steps to disable Credential Manager:

    • In the search box type “Services
    • Right click on “Services” and select “Run as Administrator
    • In the Services Window, look for Credential Manager Service and click “Stop”.
    • Restart the computer and go back the Credential Manager Service and set it to “Automatic”.
    • Restart the computer again.

    Please keep us updated if you were able to map your drives.

    Windows Security sign in pop up

    Since you are still getting this pop up window, the next suggestion we have is to reset the network. Kindly refer to the steps below:

    • Click on Start.
    • Go to Settings.
    • Select Network & Internet.
    • On the Status tab, click on Network reset.

    Doing this will make Windows forget the connection credentials and other networking components. You may have to re-enter you WiFi credentials if you will attempt to connect to your home network.

    Let us know the results.
