  1. Windows 10 Computer - Pin Locked


    I have tried all the steps to reset the pin on my Windows 10 Device.


    I am currently stuck at the log in screen. The computer keeps giving me a something when wrong error when I plug in the correct information from the main screen.


    It says I can try again later or just continue, but it creates a looping process where I cant get past this screen.


    Any ideas on how I can fix this?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
