Question I cant enter my pincode to login windows 11.

[Noawie]

Hi, for some reason I cannot type anything in the type bar where you need to enter your pincode, what's weird is that when I press spacebar to get the slide up animation to go to the pincode screen it does work. There is nothing wrong with my keyboard, I have tried using on-screen keyboard which also does not work. The only way for me to get into windows 11 is pressing the "I forgot my pincode" text and logging it with my microsoft account. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know! Thanks

What, if anything, did you install or change prior to this happening?

No, the last thing I installed was a Google Chrome update, sorry I forgot to mention all of that but no. I have not installed any software or changed any settings inside windows, it started doing this since the beginning of this week.

Is this a PC or laptop?

It's a pc. I dont think it's a hardware related issue tho, here are my specs in case that helps.

Ryzen 5 5600
RX 6800XT
Windows is installed on a 1TB NVME
32GB Ram DDR4
ASUS Rog B450 F

Upon next restart and this happening, disconnect the keyboard from its USB port and then reattach it. I am wondering if a driver issue.

Updating your AMD chipset drivers could help as well.

I personally would try the usual "sfc /scannow" as well.
