Issue:
When signing in with Windows Hello PIN, Fingerprint or Face Camera triggers the message "sorry, something went wrong please try again", forcing you to use your password instead.
Let's dive into potential fixes to this stubborn issue.
Solution:
Option 1 (For those with admin rights)
We have a solution that requires admin rights but has helped many users. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through:
- Locate and open the following folder:
C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC
- Delete all files in the NGC folder. Please ensure you're logged in as an administrator.
- Also, find and delete the temp folder within the NGC folder.
- Next, head to Settings, choose Accounts, followed by Sign-in Options.
- Click on "Add a PIN" to set a new PIN for your account.
- Test it out: try signing in with your new PIN.
We really hope this works for you!
