Can't create pin for login. Pin stopped working

Hi Kevin,

To resolve your concern about creating pin to your computer, we suggest that you follow these steps:

• Navigate to C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC (click to get permission when prompted).
• Delete the contents of that folder (delete everything in that folder, but leave that folder and everything above it).
• Go back to settings, accounts, sign in options.
• Your non-working pin will now be gone, and you can just click 'add a pin' and set it again.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Windows 11 install freezing at 'create pin'

Hi,

I have a new laptop and am running the windows 11 setup. At the 'creative a pin' step, the wizard simply stops working and continually displays a white screen with a spinning icon forever. Hitting AlT-Tab displays that there is a 2nd window hidden that appears to be the correct window I require to enter a pin, however when using tab to move the cursor to that window it still doesnt enlarge for me to use.

This appears to be a common enough error for there to be multiple helps requests online but I cant find anything to solve it for me. Some suggest disconnecting your internet connection during this step but when I do that the setup comes up with 'connection lost' and I have to repeat the steps to reconnect then am presented with the pin page again and the problem returns.

It is absolutely ridiculous that you cannot skip this stage of the setup. Please, please someone tell me there's a fix for this because I havent the time to spend hours solving this like it used too. 2 young kids taking up all my free time, I just need this process to work simply always advertised! Ha!

Thanks for any help

 

Why doesn't my pin work with the anniversary edition?

Hi Nancy,

We would like to know more about the issue. Before you had the Anniversary Update, were you using an 8-digit PIN?

For the meantime, we suggest that you remove the current PIN and create a new PIN. You can do that by following these steps:

• Select the Start button, type Settings, and select it from the list of results.
  
• Choose Accounts.
  
• Select Sign-in options.
  
• Under PIN, select Remove.
  

After you have deleted your current PIN, create a new 4-digit PIN by following these steps:

• Select the Start button, type Settings, and select it from the list of results.
• Choose Accounts.
• Select Sign-in options.
• Under PIN, select Add.

Once you have created your new 4-digit PIN, restart your computer and sign-in using the new 4-digit PIN.

Note: It is very important that you remove then create a new PIN rather than changing the current PIN.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.
