    Having to manually dismiss lock screen after Windows Hello facial recognition


    Hi guys, I have recently changed my monitors on my laptop , going from laptop screen with inbuilt camera as primary in the middle of 2 additional 27in screens, to now one 49in widescreen as the primary monitor with a Logitech Brio and the laptop screen closed.With the old setup, 99% of the time the computer woke up, camera saw me and lock screen was dismissed.Since changing screens, when waking the computer from sleep or hibernation everything fires up OK, windows Hello recognises me but says to dismiss the lock screen to log in despite windows recognising me and saying Hello David.

    Hello Bill,

    We need to do further investigation on your concern so that we will know why the facial recognition quit working:

    • Have you recently made any changes/updates prior to this issue?
    • Is there an error message when you try to sign using facial recognition?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?

    In the meantime, I would suggest that you perform the troubleshooting steps in this
    article.

    We will wait for your response.

    Regards.
