    Why does MS request a Non-Existant PIN to set up Outlook? (Win10 Pro)


    Why does MS request a PIN, when I do not have one, and do not want one.
    I'm trying to set up a replacement PC, and to open a (mine) Outlook account, yet it demands my PIN.
    As stated i do not have one, I do not want one, so at what point did I become an employee of Microsoft for it to insist I have one
    Before I explode can someone please explain my options (bearing in mind I still do not want nor as far as I am concerned need a PIN)
    Many thanks

    :)

    Autocorrect in Win10... basically non-existent(?)

    In this case, we suggest following the steps below to work around the issue:

    • On the Cortana search box, type Typing Settings and press
      Enter.
    • Turn off Autocorrect misspelled words and Highlight misspelled words.
    • Restart your PC.
    • Do step 1 and 2 but this time turn on Autocorrect misspelled words
      and Highlight misspelled words.
    • Restart your PC.
    • Check if the issue still exist.

    If you have questions, please let us know.
