WINDOWS 11 wont let me set pin

Okay so at first I couldn't update to the new 11 beta version. Eventually had to reset my computer, after going through hell with that, now I can't set up a pin or anything, but it says that I am up...

Hi KapilArya

I have tried all of your fixes included in the blog post (and other linked posts):

https://www.kapilarya.com/fix-pin-not-working-in-windows-10

https://www.kapilarya.com/fix-cant-add-sign-in-pin-for-windows-10

None have resulted in my being able to set a sign-in PIN.

For months I've been using a PIN and then suddenly it stopped working. I don't know how to tell if this coincided with a particular update.

Edition Windows 11 Home
Version 21H2
Installed on ‎4/‎7/‎2022
OS build 22000.613
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.675.0

I am logged into two Microsoft accounts (personal and school). That has never been a problem but I don't know if that could have something to do with it.

The solutions found on most websites for this problem didn't work for me. It turned out that I had to disable TPM in the BIOS to get Windows Hello for Business to start working again.
