How to fix PIN error 0x80070032 in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

For security, Windows 10 has been enhanced with Windows Hello. This is a biometric authentication and access control feature that allows fingerprint, face, or PIN login, but is available to a limited number of Windows 10 users. For legacy devices and missing prerequisites (fingerprint reader), purchase a USB biometric scanner … Login by fingerprint and face recognition is accompanied by a password. These parameters do not always work – an error 0x80070032 occurs. Most users claim: this happened after installing the Fall Creators Update.
