Windows 10: Suspicious sign in requests

Hi, I've been using different VPNs for a long time, recently my Microsoft authenticator constantly notifies me for sign in approvals and when I checked my activity there are ao many logins, successful and unsuccessful every day. I have a strong password, two step authenticator and etc. I changed my password but the issue remains. Is my account hacked or something? What sort of data can be compromised? Is it all just because of the VPNs? Idk what to do!

a request for device descriptor request failed

Maybe it's time to step back from the current efforts, and start over. I suggest you read over this excellent tutorial and try all of its steps: [Solved] Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) for Windows 10 - Driver Easy. The one that may provide you with some easy relief is the one where you uninstall the device whose descriptor is failing, reboot, and see what happens when device enumeration recurs during boot-up. If you're lucky, it will fix itself.

Unable to sign into Windows

Hi Peter,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. What is the error you get while trying to sign in?
   
2. When you say ‘0000’, are you referring to a PIN?
   
3. Is it a local or Microsoft account, you use with Windows sign in?
   
4. Do you see any other sign in options like password, fingerprint or facial recognition?
   
5. Do you see any options on screen to reset your password?
   

If you are using the Microsoft account with Windows sign in, choose password option under sign in options and type in the Microsoft account password and let us know if it works.



Please get back to us with the information requested, so that we can suggest the appropriate troubleshooting steps.
