Windows 10: Something went wrong and your PIN isn't available (status 0xd00000e5, substatus 0x0)....

This message has appeared on my Windows 10 desktop PC for the last two days. This has never happened before.



1. On both days, I turned on the PC and logged in as usual.

2. After waiting about 45 minutes, the PIN error message appeared. Afterwards, I reentered my PIN and was able to access the PC.

3. After gaining access, I noticed that MS Excel had automatically opened on both days that I received the PIN error message. This morning for example, ten (yes ten) blank MS Excel workbooks had automatically opened even though I had not opened Excel. This has never happened before either.



Are the PIN and MS Excel issues somehow related or are these two separate issues?



I noticed several postings regarding the PIN error message, but I didn’t see one that also referenced the MS Excel anomaly I’m experiencing, so I decided to post this separately.



I’d appreciate any assistance to resolve these problems. Thanks.

code: 0xd00000e5 Something went wrong and your PIN isn't available.

My recent experience with my windows 10 laptop has been frustrating. The Issue came from two perspective.

1. If I close the lid and move it to another place, the screen will not turn on!. I have to (force) restart it several times for it to operate normally.

2. I have been getting "code: 0xd00000e5 Something went wrong and your PIN isn't available" when the computer finally agreed to turn on! I have to restart it again to have my pin function correctly.

I have been looking at different pages, I don't see that particular error code. Please tell me how to fix it.

 

Printer isn´t working after latest update.

After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.
