    Fingerprint Sensor not being recognised by windows.


    Everything was working fine an hour before I kept my laptop on charging, when I came back, windows displayed this message and now my fingerprint sensor is not working at all.No updates were installed prior to this problem and it worked fine an hour ago.

    :)

    fingerprint sensor

    You can use the fingerprint sensor with any program that supports it. For now, as far as I am aware, the fingerprint sensor on a Windows PC is only usable for signing in. I'll be happy to be corrected.

    Let's hope that changes. I can use the fingerprint sensor on my Android phone to sign in to several apps.

    Windows doesn't recognize my laptop's fingerprint sensor.

    Hello,

    I just bought a used HP elitebook 840 G2 which has a fingerprint sensor, I tried to link it to windows hello but couldn't. Tried to check if my fingerprint sensor drivers are up to date but couldn't even find one so I installed it from the windows website.
    Now that I installed it I still can't find it on my drivers list and windows hello still can't detect a fingerprint sensor on my laptop. Happy holidays and merry christmas to everyone.
