    Windows 10 asking to verify pin on startup - change display language


    I searched the internet for solutions to this problem and found none that made sense in my case. However, the problem was resolved when I changed the language settings. I had initially set up windows with English (United States) as the display/system language. Later, I changed the region to English (Switzerland) and this also changed the display language. Apparently, this caused confusion on the windows user settings and I kept getting a prompt to verify it was me by entering my pin. I hope this can help others, it was a lucky discovery since none of the search results led me to this solution. windows 10 version 20H2 (OS build 19042.985)
