  1. How do I undo the recent change to use my Windows Hello PIN instead of using website...


    I'm trying to undo a recent change I agreed to try.I'm unable to find ANY information on how to do it.I agreed to try Windows Hello PIN to sign into websites I visit instead of using the passwords I had already set up for those sites. I still want to use my Windows Hello PIN to sign into my laptop and verify it's me when I need to look up a saved password, just like before. Now I am unable to sign into websites that I have 2-factor verification turned on that require a code from an authenticator. Windows thinks I'm trying to sign-in to the website and is requiring me to put my Windows Hello PI

    :)

    Login with PIN and Hello

    Hi Jean,

    Windows 10 includes multiple options to sign-in to your account, including the ability to sign-in using a PIN and Windows Hello, which uses facial recognition. For us to provide a solution suited to your concern, we need additional information. Can
    you answer the questions below?

    • How are you setting the PIN and Hello?
    • Which build version of Windows is your PC running on?
    • Were there any error codes or messages?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you follow the steps below on how to set up PIN.

    • Open Settings.
    • Select Accounts.
    • Click Sign-in options.
    • Click the Add button for the PIN and set your PIN.
    • Do the same for the Windows Hello.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Windows Hello and Pin sign on

    Hello Adam,

    There are a number of reasons why you can’t set up Windows Hello and Pin at the same time. To isolate the issue, we would like you to answer the following questions:

    • Are you trying to set up Windows Hello using a Microsoft or a Local account?
    • Have you made any recent changes on your device?
    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    Looking forward to your response.

    Recent shortcuts for apps show files on OneDrive instead of local hard drive

    I was able to follow the steps and uncheck the "Use Office apps to sync" box but it didn't change Office's behavior. I opened and closed an Excel spreadsheet on my local hard drive. After that, when I right-clicked on the Excel icon pinned to the taskbar, a link to the OneDrive cloud file was in the list of recent files instead of a link to the file on my hard drive.

    Do you have any other suggestions?

    Thanks!
