  1. Windows 10 Sign-In Options issues


    I am using Surface Go with windows 10. Everything was okay, I forgot my local account password, PIN, and security questions' answers so I was googling for ways to change the password. I have been signing in with windows hello all the while. Following method 1 of the url shown below, I went to command prompt to change the local password and restart my Surface Go. Immediately afterwards, the pin sign-in and windows hello were not working.


    https://www.isunshare.com/windows-1...Win + R to open,user password for Windows 10.


    I went to settings' sign-in options and the pin sign-in and windows hello were grayed out as shown below. I suspect that by changing the password through command prompt all the sign-in options' passwords were force set to the same as the local account password and hence disabling the Windows Hello and Pin function as the password format were not recognized for the other two options.


    May I please know how to fix this issue and enable windows hello and PIN sign-in again?

    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

  3. [Windows 10] Sign in to Microsoft Account Issue

    Hi,

    This issue could occur due to some incorrect settings. I would suggest you to first check if there is any proxy connection setup in your PC. If yes, disable it temporarily and check if the issue persists. To disable proxy, follow these steps:

    • Press Windows key +R and type 'inetcpl.cpl'.
    • Click the Connections tab, and then click LAN settings.
    • Uncheck the option “Use a Proxy Server for your LAN”.
    • Click Apply and Ok to save changes.

    Try these steps and let us know the results.
