Just put the latest bios on now Windows says my pin no longer works any way to sort this without doing a fresh install of Windows 11.
 
This happens every time I update the BIOS on AMD (never happened on Intel)

As long as you login to Windows you should just be able to enter your details and setup a new pin.

Trouble with that is I go through the security questions I never received the code,i ended up doing a fresh install it's running great.
 
Windows Hello and Bitlocker can be broken by a BIOS update if it messes with the TPM keys.

I don't believe this is necessary, but some manufacturers still do it.
 
Yes it is always better to backup the TPM keys before doing any BIOS update, some motherboards seem to erase it or create a totally new one. Also good Idea before any BIOS update to restore the BIOS to defaults too after backing up the TPM keys and then doing the update.
