    Latest Windows 10 update loses my PIN number!


    I have Windows 10 installed and have just received an update. Now it will not allow me to access Windows 10 using my PIN number. I can access by using my password but when I try to reset the PIN number it will not allow me to do so as it will then not accept the password already used to start Windows 10. How do I unlock this situation?

    :)

    why am I getting error code 0x8009002d when signing in?

    Windows 10 Latest update a few weeks ago. I reprogrammed a Pin number. Pin login hasn't failed yet even after sleep mode. Don't know if its a fix or not. Anybody else see an improvement?

    Windows 10 update problems

    Windows 10 updated. Now can not log in to front page with my 4 digit pin. How do I recover my pin number or change pin number from front page?

    I am so grateful. I had been trying to change rather than delete and reapply the PIN. I was worried that I would lose all access to my computer.
