  1. Win10 PIN login option stoped working for no explainable reason


    I have a Dell xps 15 laptop with up-to-date Win10.

    For the second time, but on a different computer, my PIN login option has stopped working for no explainable reason. After waking up from sleep, Win10 refuses to accept my PIN and says that the option is no longer available due to changes to the security system. This is really bad because its not accepting my thumb print either and my password wont work either. I was just using the computer last night and always use my thumb print or pin. I did nothing to the settings in the last few months. What do I do!?

    :)

    Win10 PIN login option stops working for no explainable reason

    I have a Lenovo Y700 laptop with up-to-date Win10.

    For the second time in a week or so, my PIN login option has stopped working for no explainable reason. After waking up from sleep, Win10 refuses to accept my PIN and says that the option is no longer available
    due to changes to the security system. I end up having to login with my regular password, delete my PIN settings, and then set it back up again. It's annoying. Anyone know what's going? It never happened before.

    Delete NGC folder and add a new PIN code

    Go to C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC.

    In NGC folder delete all the files. To do so you must be logged as Administrator.

    delete the temp folder within the NGC folder

    Now go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options.

    Click Add a PIN and add a new PIN code for your account.

    Now the PIN login should be working again.

    Switch to local account and add a PIN code

    Option 2:

    try to switch to local account, and the add a PIN code. Here’s how to do that:

    Go to Settings > Accounts and locate your account.

    Click Sign in with a Local Account instead.

    Follow the instructions to set up a local account.

    Sign out and sign in with your local account.

    Now add a PIN code.

    After you’ve added your PIN code you need to locate your account under the Accounts section in Settings.

    Choose Sign in with a Microsoft Account instead.

    That’s it, PIN login should be working now for your account
