Hi,

This issue is often caused by an outdated driver. We suggest that you download and install an update for your fingerprint driver. You can refer to this article for the steps on how to:

After updating your drivers, reset the fingerprint setting option by disabling and enabling it again.

Fingerprint Sign In Option

Hi,

I have an HP Envy x360 with the Windows Hello sign in options. I have been using the fingerprint sign in option ever since I got the laptop a few months ago. I've not had any problems with it. I just updated it and now that option is gone when I turn
my laptop on and want to sign in. When I go into settings/accounts/sign in options, it says Windows Hello Fingerprint (and also Windows Hello Face, but I've not set that up) - this option is currently unavailable, click to learn more. I click and it says
"We couldn't find a fingerprint scanner compatible with Windows Hello Fingerprint." How do I go about fixing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
