Windows 10: Windows-Security PopUp PIN Massage.

After we have activated the smartcard with PIN authentication, we regularly receive a security message "Making sure it's you" with a PIN request. We did not activate the PIN in Windows. We can provoke this message at any time. For Example by staring an internal website. If i entered the PIN (it's also the same for my login) the Website will be displayed. If i choice "cancel" the Website was blocked and not displayed. The message also appears after the successful Windows login. I can identify witch application triggers the messeage. The message is visible in the task manager. It was listed under the application that has triggered the message (eg IE (specified Website, Globalprotect (after Login) or Outlook (witch from LAN to WLAN)). Why is this Messege coming up? Can this message be switched off or manged?

File Explorer jump list doesn't consistently show location popups


Thanks for your reply.

Whatever "it" is exactly, all I know is, it does not behave consistently. This is so across multiple systems. Also, it isn't just recent items, but pinned items that fail to produce the popup on mouse over (when they should).

If the File Explorer setting you're referring to is "Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items," I already have that turned on.

Based on my tests, I tend to think this is a bug. Did you try reproducing it?

1. Right click File Explorer in taskbar to open the jump list.
2. Mouse over any of the pinned or recent folders and see if the popup with the location path appears (as shown in the screenshot with the original post).
3. If it does appear, close out of the jump list by left clicking anywhere outside of it.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until you find the popups not appearing. In my experience, it always occurs, even if not right away. And all too often when I need them most.
