  1. fingerprint sensor stopped working


    Windows hello shows "We couldn't find a fingerprint scanner compatible with Windows Hello Fingerprint".A screenshot from device manager:Also the driver package available at OEM's website zip seems corrupted ;-;https://www.mi.com/in/service/support/minotebookultradrivers.htmlI am pretty sure a driver re-install will fix the issue.

  2. Fingerprint sensor not working....again

    Thank you for your reply.

    I went back into the NGC folder and again it said I didn't have permission. I changed it to Administrators, Check Names and tried again unsuccessfully to delete it .

    Here are the contents in the attached Doc1 file:

    Is this the reason I am not able to fix the Fingerprint sensor in your opinion? Even after deleting the contents of NGC folder, what do you think I'll have to do next to get the Fingerprint sensor to work again?

    I'll try your option of downloading Emco Unlockit after I do a backup of my entire computer this morning using Acronis True Image Home Edition.

    Thank you very much for your excellent suggestions! I'll keep you posted with my progress!

    Multiple Fingerprint Sensors on PC

    Hello,

    I am trying to connect more than one fingerprint sensors on the PC, to use with Windows Hello but this is usually buggy - and in the end both stop working until I remove one.

    Is this a known issue (Search but found nothing) or is there a limit on how many fingerprint sensors you can connect to a PC?

    Fingerprint sensor not working

    I just updated to the newest version of Windows. This current laptop is only 2 weeks old and when I got it, the fingerprint sensor was working just fine. Now, after the update, the fingerprint sensor doesn't work. When I got to settings, it says we couldn't
    find a fingerprint sensor compatible with Windows Hello even though it worked before the update. How would I fix this? I've tried restarting but it doesn't work.
