Windows 10: I set up a pin for my laptop but now because it is older and had alot of restarting...

I don't know how else to get into my laptop, please help.

:)

 

No restart button in task manager

another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.

 

Windows pin not working after restart

Hi Bhaumik,

The possible cause of this issue is corruption of files or it could be missing registry settings. To address your concern, we suggest you to follow these steps:

• Open File Explorer and browse to this location:
  C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC
• Delete everything within that folder
• Go to Settings > Accounts >Sign-in Options, click Add a PIN again and set your PIN
• PIN sign in should work going forward

Let us know how it works.

 

Pin on laptop

This doesn't work. Still get no response when clicking on set up pin, nothing happens.

Have another problem after doing your fix. Now I can't stay signed into Microsoft community. I have to sign in each and every time I open it.

This problem has not been resolved and I have tried every suggestion that has been offered. I have even tried system restore to no avail. Thank both of you for your suggestions.
