    Hello, I'm having an issue with Windows 10 that I've never had before. Every day at some point, the system sends me a notification to tell me that there is a problem with my account. I click the notification, it opens up the Accounts window, and it asks me to re-enter my PIN. This isn't a huge deal, except it now happens every day at some point after I turn my laptop on. I have to enter a PIN to even access the thing so I don't know why it's asking again. I am concerned that something is broken. The behavior started a few weeks ago. I'm running Windows 10 on an ASUS ROG Strix Hero III G731GW.

    :)

    Can't enter PIN for Headset

    I'm grateful for your replies. I obviously haven't done a good job of explaining. Here are snips of the windows involved. I have done all the steps suggested, but I can't directly enter the PIN in the larger window. That seems to be my only problem. Plantronics hasn't answered yet, but I'll hope they come through.

    As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Launch the Store from your Start menu.
    • Click the user icon next to the search box.
    • Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
    • Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
    • When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown Windows 10 says there is a problem with my account, makes me re-enter PIN, and does this... :(

  8. Does re-installing Windows 10 make it faster?

    in Windows 10 Performance & Maintenance
    Does re-installing Windows 10 make it faster?: I remember in the old days, reformatting after a defrag and re installing a Windows version kind of made it faster. Is this still true today? Should I be 'refreshing' Windows 10? I don't think my machine is slower, just wondering what the norm is. Thanks. 183410
