    face recognition stops working


    Face recognition became very unreliable, for no reason that I can see. Sometimes it works, but more often, it does not. I have to wait for a long time until it gives up and I can enter the PIN. I tried to delete my recognition information and started again, but this did not help. Does anybody knows what is going on?


    It's a Surface Laptop 2, with all operating systems updates.

    :)

    An Update About Face Recognition on Facebook


    Privacy Matters

    We’ve continued to engage with privacy experts, academics, regulators and people on Facebook about how we use face recognition and the options you have to control it.

    We’ve made the steps to update your settings clearer and you can opt to leave your setting off right in the notice, as opposed to having to go to a separate screen. If you do nothing, face recognition will remain off for you.

    There’s also an opportunity to review information about our technology and the features it powers so that you can make the choice that’s right for you.

    Finally, Facebook’s face recognition technology still does not recognize you to strangers. We don’t share your face recognition information with third parties. We also don’t sell our technology.

    These changes will be effective globally starting today.

  3. Face recognition not working

    Hi,

    Recently my face recognition stopped working on my laptop and was asking for my pin instead. Since then I have attempted to get it to work again, I’ve reset my pin and attempted to setup face recognition again. The system goes
    through all of the steps, once I hit OK at the end, it exits out the window and applies nothing.

    All help would be brilliant,

    Many thanks.

    Face recognition not working.

    Hi,





    There are a lot of factors for this matter to occur. One factor is outdated drivers for the camera. To isolate the
    issue, we have some questions for you:




    • Were there any changes made before the issue occurred?

    • Does face recognition works perfectly before?

    • Have you checked for the latest driver update available on your manufacturer's website?

    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?



    We'll be waiting for your response.



    Regards.
