  1. Fingerprint no longer works after Windows 11 Update


    My finger print was working just fine yesterday. I did the update today and now, suddenly, it no longer works. I went to check the settings and sign-in options and it says its unavailable. I even went to check my device management and its no longer there either!It makes no sense why suddenly my fingerprint log in, which I have been using for years since I got this computer, is no suddenly gone and it won't even let me fix it.

    :)
