    fingerprint reader


    Hi,


    I got my HP Pavilion x360 14 - dh0004nx laptop one month ago. I was using only my fingerprint reader to log in, and today I was using my laptop when suddenly it turned off by itself. Then, I turned on again and tried to log in by using the fingerprint reader, but it wasn't working. I tried once again, but also it wasn't working, so I used my PIN to log in. After I logged in to my laptop I tried in every possible way to solve the problem, but I couldn't. Can you help me please to know what's the problem?

    :)

    Fingerprint readers don't work

    Hi,

    Windows seems to treat the P5100 as a swipe sensor and not a touch one. Let's get your device connected, to do that, try following the steps below and see how it goes:

    • Disconnect your fingerprint reader.
    • Uninstall both drivers.
    • Restart.
    • Then connect any of the drivers.

    As mentioned above, the drivers are detected by the system and everything should run smoothly. If you still experience the issue after performing the steps, we advise you to contact your device manufacturer for configuration.
