    I started getting frustrated with the inaccuracy of my fingerprint reader, so when I went to redo my fingerprint it gave the error that it was to similar why is this even a thing for 1 account, let me add multiple so there's a better likelihood of one succeeding so I disabled the fingerprint sign in assuming this would remove my fingerprint and now it will not let me use that fingerprint at all because it claims its too similar to one that is already set up when I don't have any currently setup. I've tried reinstalling the fingerprint reader drivers and disabling the windows biometric servic

  3. How to reuse the previously used finger but removed later in the function Windows Hello

    How to reuse the previously used finger but removed later in the function Windows Hello?



    My
    device (HP ProBook 440 G4)


    Earlier fingerprints were registered but I deleted them. The list of registered fingerprints is now empty. I'm trying to register a fingerprint that was previously used, but the system reports that "Something went wrong".

    However, registration of previously unused fingerprints passes without problems.

    Only the uncomfortable fingers remained;

    Where in Windows Hello are stored previously used but deleted from the system store, how to clean this cache?

    Sorry, the translation into English is mechanical.

    Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.
