  1. Pin problems


    Hello,


    I have 2 laptops: one for my office and the other for home.


    My home laptop is a lenovo from 2015 using Windows 10 and I access the 'surface' using my usual password.


    My office laptop is from June. Following a Windows update, I can no longer access this laptop's 'surface' unless I enter a PIN code. I submitted to Microsoft's security check and an on-screen message tells me to wait until Sept 15 for some kind of message.


    Yesterday, I downloaded TEAMS onto my home laptop. I can use all the Microsoft Office software without any problem. For TEAMS, I have the same 'Sept 15 on-screen message'.


    I have customers and 8 classes of 30 students who cannot wait until Sept 15.


    Help?

    :)

    Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

    Thanks Josey Wales,

    I can pin and unpin People contacts to the taskbar without problems, but these contacts will still show up on the "Pin suggested" list. It's this list I want to clear, because some contacts or double and some are dummy contacts. It's not that big of a deal, but it's rather annoying to have them suggested to me.

    Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

    Does anybody know how to clear the "Pin suggested" list on the "People bar"?

    Contacts are added to the "Pin suggested" list once you've pinned and unpinned them. But there seems to be no obvious way to remove them from that list.

    After playing around with this feature and pinning and unpinning many dummy contacts, it's rather annoying to see them in the "Pin suggested" list when you click on the "My People" icon in the taskbar.
