  1. I'm trying to create a pin for windows 10. I just reformatted my PC.


    As the title says, I'm trying to set up a new pin for my computer after having reformatted my PC. When I go to sign-in options and select Windows Hello Pin, which I've never seen before I reformatted my PC, I just had a PIN sequence I put in, anyways, it tells me I need to be connected to the internet before I can input a PIN code. Well.. I AM connected to the internet, I wouldn't be able to post this message if I wasn't connected to the internet. I've tried several things to remedy this situation, but none have worked. Is there anything you can do to help?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  3. Can't create pin for login. Pin stopped working

    Hi Kevin,

    To resolve your concern about creating pin to your computer, we suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Navigate to C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC (click to get permission when prompted).
    • Delete the contents of that folder (delete everything in that folder, but leave that folder and everything above it).
    • Go back to settings, accounts, sign in options.
    • Your non-working pin will now be gone, and you can just click 'add a pin' and set it again.

    Let us know how it goes.
