Windows 10: Unable to Complete Sign-In on Windows Machine

I have a relatively new Asus laptop. I recently tried to back up files from my old laptop and recover them to the new one. The software I used was Acronis True Image for Western Digital. Upon restart, I got a BIOS-like was not in BIOS error message because the folder could not be found. The back-up directory did not exist on my new machine, I just wanted the data into my user directory. After that, I cannot pass the Microsoft login screen or access my desktop at all. I have the correct password and pin, but every time I enter them the screen goes black for a moment and then shows me the Bing

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

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.
