Windows 10: Unable to access pin on personal accoount

Error. "you cant sign in here with a personal account, use work or school account instead" unable to change pin on personal computer as I previously had a tafe account. my only option is to sign into an organization even though my personal account is the administrator of my personal computer. This is preventing me from downloading microsoft word, as i am unable to change the pin without first entering a pin, which has not yet been set up as my pin is currently locked to my tafe account that no longer exists

Problem with Quick access that hasn't been seen before

Hi,

Frequent places is a list of folders and websites that you have opened recently. These items are displayed as "Frequent folders" in Quick access folder. In case you're unable to pin any folders to Quick access, you might want to check if the "Show recently
opened item in the Jump lists in Start or the taskbar" is On. To do that, follow these steps:

• Open Settings, click on the Personalization icon.
  
• Click on Start on the left side. Under " Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar" toggle it to
  On.
  
• Close the Settings windows and try to pin the any folders to the Quick access folder.
  

If still the issue occurs, run the System File Checker tool. It s a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. To run the tool, follow these steps:

• Right click on the Start button and choose Command Prompt (Admin)
  
• At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press
  ENTER: sfc /scannow

Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty.

Remove items from Quick access.

I would suggest you to follow the below steps.

• Right click on the file or folder.

To pin items to an item already on the quick access bar.

I would suggest you to create folder in the desktop screen & place all the files or folder which need to pin to the quick access.

• Open the quick access.
• Select the Desktop option.
