oh god.

ok ok ok ok so there i a very Big Shit Thing going on with win updates that is bricking things it shouldn’t. But. Try this:

• Hold the power button to force shut down, then power it back on. Hit and hold f4 to see if you can trigger a safe mode boot.

• If not, then we try recovery mode - same thing, but hold down f8 and see if loads a boot options menu . If not THAT then:

• Turn the PC on again, then quickly force it off again by holding down the power button two more times during startup. On the third time, it should autoload Recovery Mode.

• Select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart.

• After the restart, press F4 to start in Safe Mode.

Once you’re finally in Safe Mode, Windows should ask for your account password, not the PIN. After logging in hit winkey+I to open settings. Go to Accounts > Sign-in options and under PIN (Windows Hello), click Remove to disable the PIN.

Anyone stuck with this dog sneeze of an OS, make sure you have pin disabled by doing that last sentence.
