Windows 10: Not letting me set up pin and enable wifi

I recently built a PC and transferred the old SSD to the new one. It booted up and worked and loaded up like normal, but once it got to the part where I enter my PIN to sign in, instead of showing “Enter PIN,” it shows “Something happened and your PIN isn’t available.

Enable PIN entry for Miracast wireless mirroring via WiFi Direct

I am looking for possible solution to enable PIN entry upon every Miracast connection between PC to Miracast Receivers.

Based on Miracast Mirroring protocol, PIN authentication is only possible if connecting Miracast over MS-MICE. For Miracast over WiFi Direct, the PIN entry will only occur during the first connection, and Windows will cache its PIN from subsequent connection onwards until the laptop or Miracast receiver recycle its power.

If I want to enable PIN entry on Miracast via WiFi Direct, does Microsoft has any hidden Registry configuration to allow users to enter PIN on every Miracast session?
Is there any possible solution to work around this Microsoft behaviour in not caching the PIN?

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

My laptop is running on latest Windows 10 Pro 21H1 version Build 19043.1023.

 

Cannot set up PIN after Creators Update

In this case, we recommend to repair and set up a new PIN by doing the following steps:

• Open File Explorer and browser to this location:
  

C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC

• Delete everything within that folder. You must be logged in as the Administrator to do this.
• Go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options.
• Click Add a PIN again and set your PIN.
• PIN sign in should work moving forward.

Let us know if the steps above works.
