    long time kept getting we need to validate you on passworded win10


    Finally looking at it and never could figure out why, I setup a PIN, then all that went away.

    I dont recall the exact wording of the message, but to make it go away temporarily, I either clicked it away or signed in again to my MS account, it would then say your all set.

    So after getting fed up with it happening about every day, I was glad using PIN instead stopped the harassing nagging messages.

    What was going on with that anyway? See on this PC, I had forgotten my PIN, and switched to signing in with my machine password, that's when it all started. Now I probably have forgotten my password!

    Luckily I found a how to on changing the PIN when you dont know what it is.

    :)

    Long boot time and passwords missing

    The only reason I mention the account is that a Windows update recently was causing people to be signed into a temporary account, your password manager may be installed for all users but the list of passwords would be user specific, therefore the blank password list suggests a different account. *Smile

    Password issue

    After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???

    Activation options for Win10 with instant clones

    We have a secure (no internet access) lab environment setup to test and validate a VMWare VDI deployment of Win10 clients.

    Our issue is activation of the Win10 clients as they require re-activation every time we logoff and back on because we are using instant clones.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to resolve this? Here are the options we are considering and issues as we understand them:

    • Setup a KMS server
      • Requires a Volume license, which is doable
      • Documentation says we must have a minimum of 25 hosts, we don' have that in our lab
    • Use our MSDN account
      • No support for Win10 KMS license
      • No support for MKS activation
    • Manually activate each time
      • Gonna spend a lot of time on the phone long time kept getting we need to validate you on passworded win10 :(
      • Win10 has no grace period so machines are crippled w/o activation
    Anyone have a thought or suggestions? I'm hoping I missed something.

    Thanks
