Windows Hello - wait longer for camera to start

Hi Colin,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



The delay in camera recognition after sleep could be due to the power management settings configured. I suggest you try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose
  Device Manager.
  
• Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers
  and right click on the camera device (or the appropriate Generic USB Hub).
  
• Click on Properties and go to the
  Power Management tab.
  
• Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
  and exit Device Manager.
  
• Place the computer in sleep mode and reboot to see if the issue persists.
  

If the issue persists, you may want to install the latest driver for Intel® RealSense™ Camera
F200 and see if it helps.

port COM and LPT in the Devices Manager are not appearing

Hi Luis,


I suggest you follow the steps to check for hidden devices, and check if it helps.

1.Press Windows + X and click on Device Manager.

2.Click on View menu and select Show hidden devices. See if this helps in getting the ports to list.

3. Expand the Ports under device manager. Uninstall any entries which appear grayed out, then restart.

4. Right-click your computer name in Device Manager and click Scan for hardware changes. Device manager scans your system and automatically reinstalls your device.

If the issue persists, then I recommend you to install the latest drivers for your motherboard.

Do let us know the result.

Thank you.
