  1. Need helping setting up pin but won't allow wifi


    So I'm trying to log in on my PC dell and it says my pin needs to be set up but when I try setting it up it says I'm not connected to wifi so I can't set up. I have no ways of connecting to wifi with out being logged in and my pin is preventing that. I'm current stuck on the lock screen and it basically says 'set up pin' then it says 'connect to wifi to set up pin'. I'm not sure what to do and i can't figure out how to hard reset my pc.

    :)

  3. Wifi list won´t show


    Need helping setting up pin but won't allow wifi c3038856-ce75-4c37-bf71-721eeceae79d?upload=true.png

    Hi

    my new aspire 5 all of a sudden stopped letting me open the wifi list, while i had the same provider it was allright but right now i have changed my provider and since i can´t see the available networks it doesn´t let me choose it.
    I´ve already tried to update drivers, restart internet settings, save the new wifi mannualy to see if the computer could connect. but nothing provided results.
    From what i can guess it looks like the problem is not in the connection, because i can connect in to my old wifi and also a ethernet cable but somethig is preventing the wifi list to appear.

    cortana won`t talk to me

    Hi Steven,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    It's unfortunate that you are facing this issue. Let me assist you to resolve the issue.

    I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down the issue and to provide you better assistance.

    • Check and verify if Cortana is activated?
    • Does Cortana search and gives any output/result on screen?
    • Is the Language and region settings set to valid value?
    • Check and verify if Cortana available in your region?
    Method 1:

    I suggest you to try to turn Cortana off and then try turning it on back and check if she talks. Refer to the steps below to turn Off and On Cortana:

    • Open Cortana.
    • Click the hamburger button in the top left of the window.
    • Go to Settings and click on off.
    • Follow the same steps to turn it on.
    • Check if issue persists.
    I would suggest you to refer to the article given below and check if that helps.
