  1. Windows is unlocking with my mask on. Should I be concerned about other people using it or...


    Mine is one of those fashion masks emulating the lower half of a pokemon's face. My workplace has reopened a few weeks ago and I can't work remotely from home, plus I need to bring my own laptop. It's a small family business so equipment boundaries are nonexistent.

    Now, for the first few weeks, it would only recognize me if I took my mask off or lowered it under my chin for a second. I don't know how long it's been recognizing me with it on, but I noticed it just now as I was in the middle of talking to somebody while pressing a key to let the computer know I wanted it to look for me. As I was delayed in reaching for the mask to lower it for a moment, it unlocked before I had a chance to actually lower it.

    Assuming people don't really care about COVID-19 (they don't) and are willing to grab my mask when I take it off to eat, or assuming someone is so intent on unlocking my PC that they'll buy one that looks just like mine, is it possible that Windows Hello would mistake them for me?

    Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

    Does anybody know how to clear the "Pin suggested" list on the "People bar"?

    Contacts are added to the "Pin suggested" list once you've pinned and unpinned them. But there seems to be no obvious way to remove them from that list.

    After playing around with this feature and pinning and unpinning many dummy contacts, it's rather annoying to see them in the "Pin suggested" list when you click on the "My People" icon in the taskbar.
