Windows Hello PIN Something went wrong. Try again later

I've had my PIN set up for quite some time and all the sudden I received a message that said my organization requires me to update my pin.  This is a personal computer, it does not belong to any organization.  Under the sign in options, Windows Hello Pin, I see a message that says Something went wrong. Try again later.  I removed my PIN and now Add is greyed out.  This PC has no group policy, it's my personal computer so I don't know what went wrong, but I would like to have my PIN back.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi. I never set a PIN for my windows hello, but it kept on asking me for a PIN.

    I tried using the third method but the DWORD entry named value is already set to 1. 

    It's inconvenient every time I my laptop goes to sleep that I have to restart my computer.

    None of these worked for me either, but this did.

    In the search box type tpm.msc

    When that pops up click Clear TPM.

    Then you restart and set the pin up again.

    I wish I could find the person who suggested this first but it must have been on a different thread :(

    I tried the Method 1 above, And it said I did not have sufficient rights. This is a New Surface Book 3. I am very frustrated. I did an update yesterday, and I have been messing with this machine all morning to get it to work. Can I talk to someone that can step me through getting this corrected?

    Also, I think it is Home addition. I would like to upgrade it to Professional version.

    I tried everything but none of them worked. I can not use or create a pin. 

    I used to have but something happened two weeks ago it might be an update issue.
