Windows 10: Fingerprint sensor not recognized after KB4517389 update

After the update KB4517389, the fingerprint sensor (Synaptic) on my Lenovo E531 was no longer working. It didn't show up in the device manager. I uninstalled KB4517389 and the the fingerprint sensor works fine now.

Fingerprint sensor disabled by Windows 10 update 1803

I recently installed update 1803 on my HP Windows 10 laptop. The fingerprint sensor stopped working. I don't know if was turned off or disabled or what.

Is there a way I can fix it? I found a thread about it here, but I'm not sure what they they are suggesting.

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.

 

Problems with the fingerprint sensor

My ASUS zenbook UX431F's fingerprint sensor is not working. The problem started out as me not being able to log in using my fingerprint so i deleted it and added my fingerprint again which solved the problem for awhile. However, now i am unable to even
add another one as it keeps showing up as "The device is unable to recognize your fingerprint. Please clean your sensor.". Even after cleaning it i am unable to use the function. Is this a problem with the software or am i supposed to bring my laptop in for
maintenance. I got my laptop less than a year ago so it is relatively new.
