    How to keep from not being able to use my PIN on my laptop?


    I just got locked out of my laptop for the second time in less than a week. This is extremely frustrating and each time it happens I have to call the phone used to set up the laptop and get a code from the owner of that phone. The message I get is "Your pin isn't available due to a change in your security settings on this device. Click to set up your pin again." Furthermore, it kicks me out of internet networks that require certain programs installed on the device, which are the only internet networks I am readily able to access. I need internet connection to go through the process of resetting my PIN. Please, how do I stop Microsoft from doing this to me again?

    :)

    I forgot the pin to my laptop

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you want resetting the PIN on your laptop.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    If you've forgotten your laptop PIN and can't receive a verification code on your old phone number, you can usually reset it from the Windows login screen by selecting "I forgot my PIN" and then verifying your identity using alternative security information like a different email address associated with your Microsoft account, or by answering security questions if you have them set up.

    Here is how tp reset your PIN if you can't receive a verification code:

    Please access the login screen. Turn on your laptop and go to the sign-in screen where you would normally enter your PIN.

    And then select "Forgot my PIN" Kindly look below the PIN entry field and click on the "I forgot my PIN" option.

    After that is to choose verification method. You will likely be prompted to choose an alternative way to verify your identity.

    Then use a different email address. If have have linked a different email to your Microsoft account, enter it and follow the instructions to receive a verification code.

    Or you can also answer security questions. If you have set up security questions, you may be able to use them to reset your PIN.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Bug - TapTiles / Xbox on Win 8 - Cannot sign in

    It looks like it has resolved itself somehow. My laptop wasn't signing into Windows Group Policy (or something like that) for some reason, and that was what was keeping me from being able to sign in.

    Why no in game map?

    I know what you mean not being able to bring up the full map view. As I've always found it useful having a quick look to see exactly were my teammates are and being able to pin point exactly were enemy fires coming from
