Fixing Windows Hello PIN on Windows 11 (0x80090016)

This is the second time, my Lenovo X13s (Windows-on-ARM) machine wont boot and ask for the BitLocker key. After using the recovery key, and login with password, i can't set a new Windows PIN which is needed for biometric (fingerprint or face recognition) login. I get the error message Something went wrong. Try again later (0x80090016).

tl;dr

To fix this, you need to delete the folder C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC and reboot the system. After that, i was able to set a new PIN.

Steps

1. takeown /f C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC /r /d y

2. icacls C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC /grant administrators:F /t

3. Delete C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC
4. Reboot
