    Update has corrupted my computer


    You have just performed an update on my new laptop and I get "Something happened and our PIN isn't available. Click to see up your PIN again." This opens a box for me to log into Microsoft but the keyboard doesn't work so I can't do anything. I have restarted the computer quite a few times and have even tried to just shut down, but it won't work

    :)
