  1. Windows hello logged in when I was not in view of the camera.


    This is a seemingly small error but I believe it could be used as a way to login to someone's device.

    Before, I was in camera view and I was about 2 feet away, so it didn't log is, as I was too far. I moved to go get something, moving myself 100% out of the camera's view, and it logged in without being able to see me.

    Wondering if this is a one time occurrence, or a possible problem with windows hello/the camera?

    This occurred on a Windows Surface Pro (2018 model)


    Thanks.

    :)

    Couldn't turn on the camera Windows Hello issue on Log in window.

    Hi,

    For us to better assist you, we need to identify first as to why you can't log in to your Windows 10 computer using the Windows Hello feature. Can you tell us if you're also using Xbox Kinect as your camera to use the Windows Hello feature? Also, can you tell
    us any troubleshooting steps that you have tried so far?
