Windows 10: Fingerprint Reader ?

Hi,

I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon (2012 version) with a fingerprint reader. When I want to install the lenovo driver I have a message that said the Windows Biometric Framework need to be activate. I go into gpedit.msc and active the service, reboot the computer but still the error...

I check in the bios, no error..

Thanks in advance

:)

 

Can i use External Fingerprint reader to use Windows Hello in Windows 10.

<Original Title: Windows Hello External Fingerprint reader>

I have a question of Windows Hello Fingerprint readers I was wanting to know if I buy an external fingerprint reader will that fingerprint reader work with Windows Hello? Please respond ASAP I want to get more advanced tech for my PC!

 

Windows Hello

Fingerprint log-in does not function with Windows Hello using Windows 10 on a Dell Latitude E7450 equipped with a built-in Fingerprint Reader.
Technique used to scan fingerprint is resting finger on reader, momentarily pausing, and then moving finger upward.

Problem started when using Settings to add fingerprint of index and middle finger of right hand - reader did not recognize fingerprints.
Contacted Dell for assistance to replace reader and update driver. New reader finally recognized fingerprints after multiple attempts to add fingerprints.

After fingerprints were added, only a few log-ins have been successful using fingerprints.
Most attempts to log-in with fingerprints lead to messages prompting me to clean reader and/or require log in with PIN after too many unsuccessful attempts. Cleaning the new reader with a dry cloth did not help.



Please let me know tips for using Finger Print Reader to log in from Windows Hello.

 

Try looking at services and make sure that service is running. I would thing it should be set to automatic start.

 

The service is running, but still impossible to configure fingerprint...

 

If it is a USB device try unplugging it and then plug it back in.

 

Oh no, it's an internal one

 

OK Sorry but that is all I can do. I have never used a Fingerprint Reader. Have you tried the manufacturer's website for an update?

 

I launch Windows Update, i'll see if it's solved something..

 

It must be a driver issue as my fingerprint reader works fine.

 

It's weird because in the device manager I can see the fingerprint, and there is a driver for it. But in settings, I can't configure fingerprint

 

It was a driver issue, now it's work *Smile

 

Could you answer me, how have you done it? I have the same problem on ThinkPad SL510, and I have no method to install the fingerprint driver on it. Every time I try to install the driver, it shows the same window with "To use this product, Windows Biometric Framework must be enabled". There is no driver in device manager, and I can't use the device, I have already enabled the Biometrics in the group policy, so I don't understand how to get throw this problem.
