  2. Unable to set default browser

    • Does this issue happens while you try to set other browser as default too or is it specific to specific browser?

    Any browser.

    Already did the steps you suggested. It's some kind of bug where it's impossible to set a default browser at all.

    I heard elsewhere from one other user
    that it seems to be a problem with upgrading to 10 on the SP3. Sounds very specifc.

  3. Setting PIN to default without changing password

    Hello,

    My computer was previously set to a default PIN but that changed suddenly for no apparent reason (I wasn't fooling around in settings or anything security related). I can't get it to revert back to the PIN being the default choice for login. Other forum
    threads suggest removing that password but that is impossible. If you click change, it REQUIRES you to type in a new password and there is no option to remove or delete the password.

    Furthermore, I use that password on my other computer rather than the PIN and don't want to delete it in the first place. So how can I set the PIN back to default?

    Set PIN as default

    how do I make my pin as a default login.

    Hi,

    You may follow the steps below to make your PIN the default login to your device:

    • Click the Start button, then type Settings.
    • Click Settings.
    • Click Accounts, and select Sign-in options.
    • Under PIN, click Add. Confirm your password when prompted.
    • Set-up the desired PIN as required.
    Make sure to delete the password if you just want the PIN to be enabled.

    If you have further questions, feel free to ask us.

    Regards.
