    How do I stop this from happening to all my users when they do the update? It doesn't give me any other way of signing in, I have to select other users and log in that way.

    Windows 10 asking for USB security key even thou I never set one up.

    I'm using Windows 10. Now randomly I get asked to insert a USB security key even thou I never set one up. I found the following post...

    Redirecting

    But when I go to

    Follow these steps to delete keys that you have set up for your account:

    1. Go to the Microsoft account page and sign in as you normally would.
    2. Select Security > Advanced security options. Manage your security keys under Ways to prove who you are.

    I go here, but there is NO SECURITY KEY SET UP!!!

    So why is windows asking me to insert a USB security key when none is set up.

    I can't Manage it here if it was never set up.

    Thanks.
