  1. Fingerprint sign in stopped working after Windows 22H2 Update


    I recently updated my system with the Windows 11 22H2 update, and after the restart, I was unable to sign in with my fingerprint or PIN, therefore I had to reset the PIN through my Windows account. However, the option for fingerprint recognition sign-in is displayed as "This option is currently unavailable; something went wrong." Try again later. Please provide any solutions to this.

    :)

  3. fingerprint sign in isnt working or letting me set up

    Hello Samantha,

    Driver incompatibility is one of the possible reasons why fingerprint sign-in isn't working on your computer. For us to further isolate and assist you better with this, kindly follow the steps below:

    Step 1: Roll back drivers / use default drivers

    • Open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start button and choosing Device Manager from the list.
    • Locate your fingerprint driver and double click it to open its properties.
    • Click the Roll Back Driver button.
    This will install the previously installed driver instead of the one you’re currently using.

    To go back to the default drivers do the following:

    • Open Device Manager.
    • Find your fingerprint scanner driver.
    • Right-click it and choose Uninstall device.
    • Check Delete the driver software for this device and click
      Uninstall
      .

    Step 2: Update your drivers

    It's often better to use the latest driver optimized for Windows 10, so make sure that you visit your fingerprint scanner manufacturer and check for latest Windows 10 drivers.

    We also suggest visiting the article below to know more details about it.

    Fingerprint sign in stopped working after Windows 22H2 Update

    Signing in with fingerprint stopped working on Windows 10

    I bought a new Lenovo Yoga 920 Glass and went through some regular setup and configurations.

    Fingerprint was working nicely as expected.

    Next day I installed a couple of simple programs like browser and then a big Windows update was needed.

    I was then prompted with the need to set up Windows Hello and a PIN.

    Somewhere along this, the fingerprint sign in stopped working.

    Many articles refer to Settings > Sign-in options

    But there I see on top in red "Windows Hello is preventing some options from being shown".

    And under the Windows Hello it says "Windows Hello isn't available on this device".

    Why is Hello not available and why has it disabled the fingerprint reader?

    So now my sign in options are either the regular password or a PIN.

    I wanted fingerprint for 2 reason... easier to log in but also more secure.

    Looks like Windows decided the PIN was more secure than the fingerprint!

    I am using a Microsoft account.

    How do I get the fingerprint sign in option to work again?
