    Windows sometimes doesn't remember I set a PIN and skips the lock screen


    Hello, I have been having a problem with Windows not remembering I set a PIN sometimes and skipping past the lock screen. I am confused because it is inconsistent. Sometimes when my computer wakes up from hibernation it prompts me to ender the PIN, but other times it just completely skips the lock screen like I didnt ever set a PIN. I discovered in settings that it sometimes randomly changes my settings to never require PIN when the computer wakes up. Do you have any recommendations on how I can fix this? I have ran sfc /scannow and it comes up with nothing out of the ordinary. I am not sure w

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Cannot set pin to sign in windows 10

    To be able to log into my account on windows 10 after adding it, it requires me to set a pin. However it says “error, cannot set a pin at this time, retry or skip this step and set up later” if i skip the step then it boots me back to the lock screen and
    it all starts over. I have tried logging in with my account password, but it says im using the wrong password. I went to microsoft on my phone and it let me in using that password, so the password is correct. Even if i sign in using the authenticator app,
    it requires a pin to be set up.
