  1. win hello not working after power outage other login options hidden, rdp working


    My win 11 device is setup to login with windows hello pin code. After a power outage, I got a message that says pin code login is not allowed unless I leave the device on for two hours and to use other options, the problem is it is not allowing me to select other options, the usual icon to do that is hidden. The forgot pin link just returns to the enter pin code screen. RDP login with username and password works. Things tried:- safe mode has same issue- login with rdp works fully but doesn't solve the issue on device- sfc /scannow no effect- dism image repair no effect- i can't disabl

  2. Power outage caused programs to disappear and/or become disfunctional

    Hello,

    There are few factors that can contribute to the issue you are encountering. Power outages can result in data loss, corruption of folders/files, and programs not functioning.

    To assist you further, kindly provide more details by answering the following questions:

    • Which browser are you using to check the passwords and favorites section? Provide the list of browsers where you encountered the concern.
    • Have you tried using another account to verify if the programs are still missing on your program list?

    There is a possibility that the drive index has been corrupted. We highly suggest that you check your hard drive and scan for errors by following these steps:

    • Open This PC on File Explorer and locate your hard drive.
    • Right-click and choose Properties.
    • Under Tools tab, click on Check Now button.

    After scanning the hard drive, hidden files and folders, as well as lost data can be restored.

    Additionally, we advise running the System File Checker as another way for us to check or scan for data corruptions in Windows system files that can be affected by the power outage. To do so, follow the steps on this article:

    Using System File Checker in Windows 10.


    Let us know of any details pertaining to your concern.

  3. Power Options don't work.

    Do Sleep and Hibernate work from the Power shortcuts just above the Start button in Start Menu?

    Work through the steps in
    Sleep Mode Problems
    to test with short timeouts after each step or two. As I said earlier, this has always worked for me and rarely do I need to work through the entire list.
