  2. Win Update KB5035942 Windows 11 Cumulative Update Preview Build 22621.3374 (22H2) and 22631.3374 (23H2)

I paused it for a week but it just did it again while I was making some food and came back to find the something went wrong message again. KB
  3. Accounts Fix Something happened and your PIN isn't available on Windows 11

    I'll try adding a password so it at least stops and asks for a PW OK that worked and I have added the Drivers, to try and get Networking/Wifi/BT running etc as it appears you are screwed if you have a Microsoft Account and no internet if you have the Windows Hello Pin option ON ( which it is by...
  4. Accounts Fix Something happened and your PIN isn't available on Windows 11

    the Win11 Setup USB method for the Admin. Account next per the Tutorial. Ok that worked , one quirk was trying to enter 10, which didn't work until I used the top row numbers instead of the Numpad which was not initialized as normal by the bios I think.

  5. Accounts Fix Something happened and your PIN isn't available on Windows 11

    Re: WinRe ... I don't think so, Win11 seems so much more susceptible to "Errors, when "Tinkering with the OS" than Win 10 even was , I almost wish I had waited for as long as possible and stayed on Win10. but I have found in the past that it seems to be "broken" on some Systems, but you don't...
  6. Accounts Fix Something happened and your PIN isn't available on Windows 11

    Unfortunately No , it is also not available per the linked tutorial above as there is No Command Prompt any longer on a TroubleShoot (Shift) Restart at least not while the Pin is "broken" .....

    I currently have this Issue and just wanted to point out you can no longer boot to Safe Mode using Advanced start , well you can try but it just brings you back to the "Reset Pin" Window , you are also no longer offered the Command Prompt at Advanced Options, only Safe Mode or UEFI. KB

  10. Changing the Email Address of a User and keeping current Profile/Apps/Data

    Thanks for the Reply Bree, I was going to try that but thought it might be prudent to ask here on the Forum 1st since I didn't want to really mess things up and have to re-install Win 11 and all th ePrograms/ Games etc etc. I'll give that a go , appreciate it. KB.
  11. Changing the Email Address of a User and keeping current Profile/Apps/Data

    Possible? A Family Member has a new email address and would like to use it as their Sign In email etc, but it seems it is not easy to simple change the Microsoft Email Account Info used at sign in , and creating a new User and Sign In was/is basically like re-installing Windows 11, with the...
