Windows 10: PIN isn't available and missing it in Sign-in Options setting.

Hi,

Since yesterday I discovered that I can no longer use my fingerprint reader and PIN to log into my Windows 10 . I also can no longer open outlook email accounts, Windows Store, and some applications that are downloaded from the Windows store.

Every time I want to open an application I always get :

However, the PIN setting no longer appears in Sign-in Options.





I have reading how to fix this problem and have done the following :
1. Delete or clear Ngc folder,
2. Switch my account from Local Account to Microsoft Account or vice versa,
3. Change local password and or Microsoft Account password,
3. Update my Windows,
4. Perform Code:

and Code:

But none of the above list can solve this problem. I can survive without a PIN when logging in, but not being able to use some of these applications is annoying

What can I do to solve this problem?

Windows 10 Pro v 2004
Build 19041.329

thanks you in advice
