    My fingerprint reader no longer reads fingerprints


    A few days ago my fingerprint reader stopped recognizing my fingerprint. I tried to add a new one to see if it was just a problem with one finger, but it can't read anything anymore. When I try to unlock my computer it says that the reader can't recognize the fingerprint any time I try to use it. I still have the option to add more fingerprints, but the reader itself is unable to read anything. I don't have any updates available for anything either. I tried the uninstall and reinstall thing, but it never fully uninstalled. Then I tried to just disable it and turn it back on, but that still did

    :)

    My fingerprint reader no longer recognizes my fingerprint

    My fingerprint reader no longer recognizes my fingerprint on my HP laptop with Windows 11. I also have a pin number but it is secondary to the fingerprint. Can I set the pin to be the 1st and primary way to logon to my HP. Please help.

    Fingerprint Reader ?


    It must be a driver issue as my fingerprint reader works fine.

    Fingerprint Reader ?


    OK Sorry but that is all I can do. I have never used a Fingerprint Reader. Have you tried the manufacturer's website for an update?
