Windows Hello and Lenovo fingerprint sign in

I would like to know how to disable Windows Hello. After the most recent update, I can no longer find a way to do so and Windows Hello appears to have disabled my Lenovo Thinkpad's fingerprint sign in option. When I try to set up the "Windows Hello Fingerprint"
it says "We couldn't find a fingerprint scanner compatible with Windows Hello Fingerprint." It was working fine until my computer updated.
