Pin Not Available

Crazy Error I had not seen before. Pin not available blah blah.

I restarted a few times and it finally worked.

If it doesn't some say to do this and the old pin will work. They use the term "passowrd" so I don't know if they are talking about a local account or not.

I haven't had to try this yet.

Shift Restart to enter recovery

Troubleshoot to CMD

regedit

May need to "load hive" to get to it

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Device

DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion (If not present, create the dword value)

set to 0

If loaded hive, unload it

Others say to delete the Ngc folder and Windows will recreate it.

C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Ngc

Windows 11 24H2 Requirement

 Intel SSE4.2

AMD SSE4A

Boot Loop

 Advance Startup

1. Restart while holding shift

2. CMD shutdown.exe /r /o

3. Hard shutdown with power button 3 times (if won't boot)

4. Boot USB install & choose "repair you computer"

5. In settings:

>In Windows 11, go to Start > Settings > System > Recovery. Next to Advanced startup, click Restart now.

>In Windows 10, go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Recovery. Under the Advanced startup section, click Restart.

Depending on screen > troubleshoot > advanced options

Here you see System Restore, etc

If you choose command prompt

Bootrec /fixmbr

Bootrec /fixboot

bcdedit /export C:\bcdbackup

attrib C:\boot\bcd -h -r -s

ren c:\boot cd bcd.old

Bootrec /rebuildbcd

If nothing else works copy the regback files to c:\windows\system32\config

While in the regback folder copy *.* .. and the files will be copied to the above directory.

Should back up the config files before doing this.

cd \windows\system32\config

MD backup

copy *.* backup

Alexa App for Windows

 On my current version of the "store" it is missing.

Why would anyone want this?

I use it to edit my shopping list. Much easier.
