    Dear Sir/MadamI have bought Lenovo thinkpad T490 i5 gen 8 . I still don't understand that why my laptop's fingerprint option is not available on my laptop. Although I have researched a lot about finding the solution to that issues even I followed the same direction as I learned from the researcher but unfortunately, my problem is still the same and the official driver don't show on device manager.

    Fingerprint scaner does not work as expected in Lenovo laptop

    Hi Robert,

    What is the model of the Lenovo laptop wherein the fingerprint scanner does not work?

    Since the issue involves working of the fingerprint scanner which came inbuilt with the Lenovo laptop, I would request you to contact the laptop manufacturer.

    In the meanwhile you can execute the Hardware and devices troubleshooter and then check if it helps.

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with the Bluetooth adapter. Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Control panel.


    • Change the view by option on the top right to
      Large icons.

    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel.

    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

    • Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.

    Please revert if you face any issues with the fingerprint scanner.
