My wife has just had a awin10 update today and now cannot log on to her computer.
She has a password which is not recognised and there is not now the facility to put her pin number in.
Can anyone help?

Hi Richardk,

You may add a PIN login, give this a try:
Delete NGC folder and add a new PIN code

Go to C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC.
In NGC folder delete all the files. To do so you must be logged as Administrator.
delete the temp folder within the NGC folder
Now go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options.
Click Add a PIN and add a new PIN code for your account.

Now the PIN login should be working again.

Switch to local account and add a PIN code

Option 2:

try to switch to local account, and the add a PIN code. Here’s how to do that:

Go to Settings > Accounts and locate your account.
Click Sign in with a Local Account instead.
Follow the instructions to set up a local account.
Sign out and sign in with your local account.
Now add a PIN code.
After you’ve added your PIN code you need to locate your account under the Accounts section in Settings.
Choose Sign in with a Microsoft Account instead.

That’s it, PIN login should be working now for your account.
