For at least the last year on this Win11 machine I've had my screen timeout set to 15 minutes and if I come back to the laptop after that, the screen has gone black and when I wake it up with a mouse-click or press a key on the keyboard, it asked me for my PIN.
For the last week or so, 90% of the time instead of asking me for the PIN it asks me for the password. I have to click on sign-on options and switch to PIN.
It's annoying waking it up with a keypress, entering my PIN quickly and seeing an error because it wasn't asking for a PIN, it was asking for a password.
