    Windows hello not working


    I keep getting notifications that my windows security isn't complete, so I open windows security. It says to set up account protection. When I try to set it up, it goes to set up a pin. I enter my microsoft password, and sign in then enter my pin for my microsoft account, and nothing happens, it just closes the window. When I go to settings -> account -> sign in options -> pin, and do the same, and it says I can only do it is I have a school or workplace account. I have to enter a pin when I turn on my PC.

    Is there something I can do?

    I at least want to make the notifications and the windows security red x to go away, and to be secure.

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Hi,

    This problem that started after installing the last Windows update might be caused by outdated or corrupted device drivers. For us to better assist you, we'll be needing additional information:

    • Are you pertaining on Windows Hello sign-in? If yes, does it mean that the facial recognition is not working?
    • Is there an error message displayed when using Windows Hello?

    • Click the Start button and select the Settings
      icon.
    • Choose Accounts from the list.
    • Select Sign-in options in the left pane of the window.
    • Under Windows Hello, kindly check the status of it.

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
