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.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows Hello, lock screen and sign-in

    Hello, for me, it does not work !!!

    I cannot remove my ********* PIN.

    Method 1. - no permission to open NGC.

    Method 2 - there is no such file on my computer.

    Method 3 - the value is already on DWORD 1.

    NOTHING HELPS. WHY DID I PAY FOR THAT WHEN I CAN'T DO ONE SIMPLE THING?

    I had a corrupted Win10 account and couldn't upgrade to the latest build.  So I did a fresh install and am now getting this error.  I didn't get it right after the upgrade but shortly after.  I am being prompted to setup a PIN every time I log in which is very annoying.

    I have tried Method 1 with not luck.  Method 2 doesn't apply.  Method 3 instructions are not complete.  Step 4 isn't clear as I have 6 lines and don't know what to change to 1.  Also to note is I do have 2 other user accounts and have a PIN setup with out issue.  So something has corrupted the PIN on this account.  Please provide other suggestions to resolve.
