Windows 10: Unable create PIN-code in Windows 10

Hi there,


This is what it looks like when I press the button to create the Pin code

My copy of Windows is totally legal, activated and I've been using it on this machine for something like 4-5 years.


I've already been through the similar threads, including the following ones

The question I have here is could it all be because I've disabled Cortana and use O&O ShutUp10 to block Windows telemetry?


Thanks in advance for your advice.

Unable to create Windows Hello PIN

Sorry if that still did not work. We can try some other steps.

"This error can happen due to incorrect/corrupt permissions set applied to a hidden system folder called "Ngc". It stores all settings related to PIN option. If the folder gets corrupted or if the system doesn't get proper permissions and full control over
this folder, the PIN option stops working and users are unable to add new PIN and login using PIN code."

Please follow the steps in the link provided. Steps are under "PROBLEM SOLUTION:"

Let me know how that goes.

Can't create pin for login. Pin stopped working

Hi Kevin,

To resolve your concern about creating pin to your computer, we suggest that you follow these steps:

• Navigate to C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC (click to get permission when prompted).
• Delete the contents of that folder (delete everything in that folder, but leave that folder and everything above it).
• Go back to settings, accounts, sign in options.
• Your non-working pin will now be gone, and you can just click 'add a pin' and set it again.

Let us know how it goes.
