About this tag
Pin issues on Windows devices often involve error messages like 'Something went wrong and your PIN isn't available' or error codes such as 0x80070006 and 0xc00000bb. These problems can occur after Windows updates, system modifications, or software conflicts, and they affect both Windows 10 and Windows 11 users. Common scenarios include the PIN box not appearing on the login screen, the PIN being rejected despite correct entry, or the system prompting for PIN setup after a reboot. Troubleshooting methods range from deleting the NGC folder and using safe mode to performing a clean installation. Some users also encounter issues with PIN reset codes or auto-login settings after installing Insider builds.
