  1. How to disable windows hello when it's not even available for my laptop?


    In order for a certain option to appear on netplwiz that will allow me to access my computer without signing in, I will need to disable windows hello.

    However, i cannot disable windows hello because you need to set it up in order to disable it.

    HOWEVER.... I cannot set it up because it is not compatible with my laptop.

    A workaround or a different, less stupid and impractical way to stay logged into my laptop even after I shut it off would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

    What's the point of being able to take a laptop anywhere if you need internet to sign into it? That's my thought process at least. Thank you.

    Windows Hello Not Available

    Hi,

    Windows Hello allows you to login into your system by recognizing your fingerprint or your face or your iris rather than using a pin code or a password, provided that you have a webcam and a finger scanner that work.

    If you’re having “Windows Hello isn’t available on this device.” in your Settings windows. We suggest to run through the settings of the sign-in options. To do this, kindly follow the steps provided below:

    Step 1: Update Your PC

    First of all, make sure that you’ve installed any possible update that is available for Windows 10. See if you have needed patches installed:

    • On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and I at the same time. Click Update & security.
    • Click the Check for updates button. Install available updates found.

      When you finish, move on to the second step.

    Step 2: Enable Biometric from Administration

    If you don’t have the administrator permission, you’re not likely to use Windows Hello on your PC. To fix it:

    • On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and R at the same time, then type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
    • Follow the path: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components. On the right side of the pane, double-click Allow the use of biometrics.
    • Click Enabled. Then click Apply and OK to save the change.
    • Reboot your computer and then move on to the next step.

    Step 3: Update Your Fingerprint Device Driver

    If your fingerprint device driver is outdated or faulty, you’ll find the hardware impossible to use. You can update the device driver to fix it.

    • On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and X at the same time, and click Device Manager.
    • Click the icon for Scan for hardware changes on the top bar.
    • Expand Biometric devices. Right-click the fingerprint sensor device that you have and click Uninstall.
    • You can choose to reboot your computer for Windows to help you locate the driver that it could find for your device. Or, as an alternative, you can choose to update the driver by yourself.
      Simply follow the steps provided by Andre Da Costa on this link
      to update your drivers.

    Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

    Regards.
