Windows 10: Issue with Windows Hello Facial Rec timing out too quickly

I setup windows hellow on a new domain connected laptop but whenever the laptop is turned on for the first time after a shut down the facial rec starts, lasts 5 seconds then asks for a pin. This is way too short for the user that is using it and should be configurable to change the duration to a much longer period. Is this possible?


Also after it asks for a pin anytime we bring the system out of sleep or the screen being shutoff from the timeout it asks for pin without trying facial rec. Is there a way to fix that as well?


Ultimately the user wants facial rec to work at all times if the machine is logged out. we have it set to sleep on lid close so battery killing isn't an issue when we put the laptop in a bag.
