    I can't add any more Windows Hello sign-in options


    I have an XPS 13 9380 that I got for Christmas recently. I was setting up my computer and I added both the Pin and a fingerprint. But, when I went back today to add all fingerprints on all hands, the face scanner, the fingerprint, and the pin said "This option is currently unavailable." So I can't setup the face scanner or add or remove my fingerprint. The Pin I can remove and I did that. So, when turned off my computer I inputted my password, it had me create a new pin, and create a new fingerprint sign-in option then i resumed right where I was when i turned it off. The same message was still there for all them. I tried updating my computer and going to the files, but I didn't do anything to them. I went into the Device manager and it said everything was working properly. And, this is a personal computer so there is no interference from an organization or something.


    Help me, please! This is so annoying and bugs me that something is wrong with my computer, but I can't figure out what it is.


    Thanks!

    :)

    Hi,

    This problem that started after installing the last Windows update might be caused by outdated or corrupted device drivers. For us to better assist you, we'll be needing additional information:
