Just recently (a couple weeks ago) I re-installed windows 10 and created a PIN. Have not entered an incorrect PIN yet except for maybe on a couple boots (once or twice) I hit enter without entering a pin. This morning on boot windows greeted me with a message that I entered an incorrect PIN too many times and that I should restart my device. I did and from there everything went normal. Is this an indication of a security issue and do I need to take any action?

Windows 10 PIN, too many attempts
Haven't seen anything security related but could be triggered by corrupt system files apparently.

You've entered an incorrect PIN too many times in Windows 11
Fix The dictionary attack mitigation is triggered and the provided authorization was ignored by the provider error in Windows 11 by following these suggestions.

No, this is standard security, If you mistype your pin or password a few times in a row, then the computer automatically assumes you are an outside force trying to login. So, it asks you to restart the computer, as an outside force would not have physical access to be able to restart the computer.
You can use the Query User Command to see who, if anyone logged into your computer besides you How to find all Signed in Users in Windows 11/10
thanx but that doesnt give me any relevant info. im the only user. Its probably as Deejay100six said, some file corruption or other windows issue instead of somebody trying to log in.
