New Windows Update now asks for Pin to log into account.
New windows update now prompts me to use a challenge phrase and pin to log into my account. But I never set up a challenge phrase nor a pin. I can not log into my computer now.

I woke up to an update on my WIndows 11 machine. I use it exclusively in my home. The wallpaper had changed, it was requiring me to sign in but I have all my settings not to sign in, then it said my password was incorrect but it wasn't. Ended up having to change it yet again. This seems to happen every time there is an update. Then, when I asked to receive a code it was tellling me the missing portion of my email was incorrect. Required me to add a pin. I did it but won't be using it.
Why in God's name does Windows do this? I even went in to check my password settings once I could get in and they were set never to ask for my password. TOO MUCH SNOOPING IN TO MY PROPERTY.

Same issue spent 6 hours today and many hours on previous days to sort this out myself. None of them worked. Then I called five numbers not one of them would allow me to speak with someone they only told me to go back to the self-help and do it myself finally I tried to contact chat support which had previously closed down on me five times prior and I spent almost 3 hours just with one person after being transferred twice and the fix she gave me didn't work.
