    I remotely locked my windows 11 laptop using find my PC, now cannot login because my VPN on...


    My VPN's "kill switch" is on, so no chance of connecting to internet without signing in. I don't mind to reset my laptop to factory setting if I have to, but prefer not to. Can I uninstall VPN without signing in?I don't know how to reset to factory setting, or how to uninstall VPN. Your help highly appreciated.Best, Moss

    :)

    Connecting to VPN from lock screen on Windows 10

    I'm using Windows 10 on my Surface Pro 4 and my desktop PC and have VPN set up on both for work purposes. I'd like to be able to connect to VPN directly from the lock screen. On Windows 7 there was a login option on the lock screen to connect using the network
    username and password so that I didn't have to connect to VPN separately after logging in.

    Is there an option to login directly to VPN at the lock screen for Windows 10? In the lower right corner of the lock screen there is an option to connect to wifi but no option listed to connect to VPN.

    Is there or will there be this option in Windows 10?

    Thanks!

    Hi everyone.
    I am not an expert about Vpn and that's why I would like to know if someone could list me a few trusted Vpns, I would really appreciate any suggestion/ advice.

    Thanks.

    Unable to unlock my Laptop after remotely locking it

    HI, Need help in unlocking / signing in to my laptop. I had remotely locked it through my Microsoft account on another laptop. Now I am not able to login through my fingerprint or PIN. Its says administrator has to login first but there is only one account on the system, and there is no option for creating or accessing it through another account. I tried Forgot PIN option as well but it takes me back to lock screen. I recently upgraded it to Windows 11. Please suggest how I can log into my laptop by any means possible. I do not wish to format the system, which I guess would be the last resort. Thank you
