    Hello to everyone,


    Few weeks ago, everything was allright. But now, Im not able to set PIC code or fingerprint. I always have to use my account password.

    When I open settings, where should I be able to set PIN code or fingerprint, all the boxes are greyed.


    I cant even change the option, when to ask for password, thats greyd too. There is some text above, that this opiton cant be changed, because of some security settings... But I cant change these settings as well.


    I have tried everything, every tutorial I found... but I cant still solve this problem.

    It works on my other devices connected with my microsoft account


    Thank you so mich for every idea.

    :)

    Fingerprint Reader and setting up a PIN

    You can set up a pin by opening up Settings->Accounts->Sign-in options.

    Your fingerprint reader should work again after that.

  3. Cannot set up the fingerprint after sucessfully setting up the PIN

    Thank you for getting back to us with those details. To rectify your concern, we advise that you check if biometrics is enabled in your BIOS. Computers that allow biometric logins may tend to store fingerprint data. If it is disabled, this may fail to recognize
    your fingerprint which can prevent you in setting this up. If it is enabled, should you see an option reset the fingerprint data, try to do so as well.

    To get into the BIOS configuration, follow these steps:

    • Boot to the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) by going into Start
      > Settings > Update & security > Recovery
      > under Advanced startup, click on Restart now.
    • Click on Troubleshoot.
    • Click on Advanced options.
    • Click on UEFI Firmware Settings.

    Moreover, we can check if the issue is due to a corrupted user profile. Hence, it is advisable that you create a new account. You can refer to the steps provided on this
    article to learn the specific steps on how to do it in Windows 10.

    If you still need help, let us know so we can assist you further.

    Cannot set up the fingerprint after sucessfully setting up the PIN

    Hi,

    I had the same issue which I managed to fix. After having my motherboard changed I was unable to sign in with my fingerprint, and then I was unable to configure Windows Hello to work with my fingerprint.

    1. Removed my PIN as a sign in option.

    2. Set up Windows Hello.

    3. Re-setup my PIN code.

    For whatever reason that worked. I hope it does for you.

    Enjoy!
