Follow the guide below to resolve these issues on your computer:

Windows Log-in Screen)
Figure 1: (English Only) Windows Log in Screen

PIN setup, but does not work:

  1. If you are unable to Sign in to Windows using the PIN because of error messages, then click the Sign-In Options link on the Windows log-in screen and select the option Microsoft Account Password to sign in to the computer for further troubleshooting.

    1. You can remove the existing PIN and add a new PIN from inside the operating system
    2. Open the Start Menu and select Settings
    3. Click Accounts
    4. Choose Sign-in Options from the left side menu
    5. Then click the Add button under the PIN option in the right side on the screen
Note: If the issue persists after removing and configuring the PIN again in the settings, then deleting everything from the NGC folder should resolve it - however this will usually require administrator rights on your computer and is done at your own risk, as with any time you delete something - there is a risk involved if it is not carried out correctly.

Sign-in options and settings are not working:

  1. Deleting the contents of the NGC folder:
    1. Open up your File Explorer and enter this URL C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft
    2. Right-click the NGC folder and choose Properties from the menu that appears
    3. Go to the Security tab and click the Advanced button
    4. Locate the Owner section at the top of the window and click the Change link
    5. In the Enter the object name to select enter field you must type the username of your account on that device (which should be an administrator level account), and click Check Names
    6. When it finds your account, select OK
    7. Your account should now show against Owner
    8. Check the checkbox next to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects and click Apply and OK
    9. Now you can enter the NGC folder
    10. Once you have opened the NGC folder, select All files and folders in it and delete them
  2. Once the files and folders are deleted from the NGC folder, go back to step 1 to add a new PIN
