Windows 10: PIN and PW requested differently on 2 computers.

I have a Lenovo G580 and an Acer Aspire A515-54 laptop both of which are running Windows 10, Version 10.0.19042. I repeatedly check then uncheck the "User must enter a user name and PW to use the computer" in User Account. 9 out of 10 startups the Lenovo requests a PIN or PW. for the Acer its less than 1 out of 10. I would like to stop these events and am curious why the Acer is so much less obtrusive than the Lenovo.

Pin and PW not working , computer in airplane mode

I have read EVERY thread and tried every tutorial given by Microsoft on them amd I cannot get into my computer.

Left for a meeting and it was updating

-Come back and it says "Something happened and your pin isnt available. Click to set up your pin again"

-click setup pin again amd it says I need to download an app from the app store, click yes. Pop up flashes off and we are back to sign in screen.

-go to sign in with password, tells me password is wrong.... it's the same as it's been for years. Try it a dozen times making sure caps is off etc. No dice

-click forgot my pw, says just a moment and flashes back to sign in screen

-go on my phone and sign into my Microsoft account (so clearly the pw was right....) change pw

-still cannot sign in and realize the comp isndisplaying airplane mode w no other option. I have a hardwired fiber line not wifi.

-unplug ethernet replay after restart etc etc

-tried every advanced option scenario and ALL of them ask for pw at some pt

-tried boot media repair comp, ASKS FOR PW

-tried boot media command prompt since advanced options wont do cp without password, none of the tutorials work all the resets say access denied

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

I cant do anything about my pw since it's in airplane mode and I CANNOT wipe this computer i have tons of files i cannot lose.

This is insane. Please HELP ME

Hi,



You can personalize the desktop of two computers by pinning the apps, documents and other programs to the taskbar.



Before we assist further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

• Are you referring to dual screen desktop feature of the computer?
• Do you want to personalize two different PC taskbars?

You can differ personalizing taskbar applications on different computers. You can either pin the same or differ the applications, programs or games on the computer taskbar according to the necessity.



To pin the apps to taskbar, follow the steps below:

• Click on Windows logo key on the keyboard to open
  Start menu.
• Right click on the app and select Pin to taskbar option from the context menu.
• Close the window and check if the app is pinned to taskbar.
