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:"
