    Security Key Sign in method keeps disappearing


    I set up a FIDO2 security key for passwordless login to my Microsoft Account to provide enhanced security.


    For the second time in less than a week, this security key has disappeared from the list of sign-in methods in my account. The first time I guessed I must have done something wrong, but it has now happened again. I had been successfully signing in using this method for the last 2 days.


    I have no emails to say my security has been updated, so what could be causing this to happen?

    :)

    Best method to disable Vista/Vista 64 driver signing?

    Black Ice:

    It's not a matter of "try". The bcdedit command is not fully consistent and reliable for some folks.

    So far, to me, it seems the third choice always locks (disables) the driver signing. If that is the case for anyone who uses it, then that would suggest it is the more reliable and consistent method of the ones I've listed, anyway.

    Thanks for your feedback.

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

    So Linux is switching to secure boot also? Or they have to because of UEFI?

    Hi Zero_Kamikaze,

    A corrupted sound driver is one of the possible reasons why you are having sound issues on your computer. For us to assist you better, kindly answer the questions below:

    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    • Which version and OS build number of Windows 10 is currently installed? To check, press the

    • Do you have a third-party security software installed?

    Meanwhile, I would suggest that you download and install the latest sound driver from the manufacturer's website of your device. Also, you can try the steps in this
