  1. Fingerprint ID, Hello Windows, and PIN are saying they are unavailable


    Hello!I just received my Fingerprint ID keyboard and wanted to set it up. However, when I went to my settings it said that Fingerprint ID, Windows Hello, and the PIN option were all currently unavailable. I've tried troubleshooting a few things I've seen from the forums, but nothings has helped.

    :)

  2. Windows Hello Face, Fingerprint, and PIN "this option is currently unavailable"

    Hi, I've seen lots of posts similar to my problem, but nothing has seemed to solve it. My Windows Hello, Fingerprint, and PIN says "this option is currently unavailable" My hello face has never worked despite my device having a camera. I used to have the
    fingerprint and PIN working up until a few days ago, but I turned the PIN off because I wanted to change it. They won't turn back on now. I have tried System Restore, Registry Editor, uninstalling the BIOS fingerprint scanner, and Windows and Lenovo are fully
    updated. I don't know how to get back these features. It's so annoying to type in a long password.

    Fingerprint ID, Hello Windows, and PIN are saying they are unavailable

    Unable to Set Up Pin or Windows Hello Fingerprint

    Hi! Thank you for the quick and comprehensive response. Unfortunately, I tried every suggestion you provided, and none of them worked. I believe that there are no issues with the hardware or drivers for the fingerprint sensor, and that all the issues are
    coming from Windows refusing to accept that I have actually created a PIN. I went down the list, did everything, even did the Repair Install, which didn't work, then tried deleting the Ngc folder and restarting, which didn't help either. It still only says
    "Add" under the options for PIN, and when I go to setup fingerprint sensor, everything works fine up until it tells me that I need to create a PIN to use Hello. I already have created a PIN, and I sign into my computer using it just fine, but it appears that
    the settings application does not see that. Any other suggestions?
