    Windows PIN


    Why does Windows keep demanding I create a PIN when I never asked for one?
    Every time I go into safe-mode or something related to troubleshooting (at start-up) when I log in, it demands I create a PIN, and refuses to let me log into my pc until I do... needless to say, I delete the pin the moment I sign in.
    It opens this menu before I've even touched any element on the log in screen.

    How do I stop it from doing this?

    :)

    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.
