Camera Query

It's normal, the camera app is trying to be helpful. It draws a blue box around any faces it can recognise in the image. If you actually take a photo there will be no box included, it's just there as an 'aid' while composing the photo..

You can test that this is what's happening by holding your hand to your face to cover one eye. The facial recognition will fail and the box will disappear. Take your hand away and it will reappear.

I see no setting to turn it off, but if you switch the camera from 'Take photo' to 'Video' it will not use facial recognition.

Windows Hello - Facial Recognition will not allow me to change the user before it turns the camera on

Sorry, but you're still missing the point -

Step 1 - other user uses PC then logs off and turns computer off.

Step 2 - I turn PC on

Step 3 - the camera turns on automatically, but looking for the face of THE LAST USER LOGGED IN. At this point NO I DO NOT have the option to select a different user.

Step 4 - the camera sees MY face but is searching for HIS face

Step 5 - camera says it can't find HIM and asks me to login with HIS PIN or password

Step 6 - Only THEN do I get the option to change user.

Shouldn't the camera wait until AFTER a user has been selected? OR - what would be a MUCH better option - recognize the face it sees and select the appropriate user accordingly?

If Windows Hello is unlikely to accomodate EITHER option then it will become (for at least one of our 4 PCs) just another piece of redundant Microsoft software.
