Hello all,
I'm hoping someone might be able to assist as I'm at a loss. I've even reached out to MS support who also temporarily fixed my login issue, but it just keeps randomly happening. So while not the biggest issue, it's rather frustrating when it does happen. Where I usually use a pin to login to Win 11, it'll give me an error that states that due to security changes my pin is no longer usable, however there is no option to use a password, and the create new pin doesn't work. This was originally triggered by me trying to run a BIOS update. The current way that I deal with this is to login to separate account, run regedit and go to PasswordLess and set to 0. Somehow it keeps resetting itself to 2 randomly. I did "undo" the update to BIOS but this issue has persisted.
Today I attempted to run sfc /scannow because a particular game I'm trying to play keeps crashing once the second chapter starts and sfc was where I was led to make certain that I had no corrupted files since my computer should be able to run the game with zero issues. SFC /SCANNOW stated that I have corrupted files that it couldn't repair. DISM stated that files were repairable but then hangs up on 62.3% for hours when trying to run /restorehealth.
I went into the SFC file - CBS log to get a better idea of what's going on hopefully and basically there are MANY hash mismatches as well as also corrupted store files. Can someone please assist me in fixing this? I'm pretty sure both issues are due to corrupt files, but not sure the best course of action as I'm pretty certain the MS representative already helped me to do a repair with a fresh image of Windows. (Hope I'm saying that right). Any way it goes, I'm up for any and all help available. Please let me know what other info you require and I'll post it asap. Thank you.
