Windows 10: I'm stuck in a "Making sure it's you" loop. I can't verify my account from a "Microsoft...

I get a notification on my laptop saying that there's a problem with my Microsoft Account. I click it and it takes me to Your Account Info in Settings. I click on Verify and the "Making sure it's you" pop-up appears. I type in my PIN and it appears to crash and instantly reopen, as the settings icon is now highlighted in orange. I click on it and it and the "Making sure it's you" pop-up is still there. Attempting to type in my PIN again, clicking on Use a Method Not Listed Here, Cancel, and closing it by clicking the X in the top right all lead to the same result. I have to right click the set

Stuck in Driver Verifier Detection Violation loop

As per someones advice on this forum, I had enabled Driver Verifier to potentially fix a BSOD, i am now stuck in a BSOD loop

I would appreciate anyones help as since enabling Driver Verifier i have not been able to log in

NONE of the troubleshoot options from windows recovery are working - have tried all of them, all failing at some point or the other

Command Prompt does not execute the driver verifier reset to any success

I have RESET windows (kept personal files) and upon restart was still stuck in BSOD loop

i am able to reach log in screen in safe mode, but my password and pin do not work, so still unable to log in. only option from this point is to shutdown or restart

With all information above taken into account - does anybody have any advice on how to DISABLE driver verifier, where all perviously suggested methods have no worked?

Any help much appreciated thank you
