Windows Hello Face logon cannot be removed

Hi,

I set up Windows Hello Face logon feature some time ago. But I realized, that I don't use it, so I decided to remove and disable this feature. However, when I go to Sign-In options to Windows Hello part and click on Remove button next to Face, nothing happens.
No error message. The Face logon still prompts on login screen. I've tried also to remove it in registers but this option did not work either.

Thanks for help.

Thank you very much. It worked like a charm

 

Hello Marina, *Smile

Double check to make sure that you do not have a face left to remove, then turn off both Windows Hello settings below that. When on the sign-in screen next, click on the Sign-in options link, and select to sign in using something other than Face.

 

This doesn't work for me either. Pushing the button seems to do nothing. Windows still tries to recognize my face whenever it wants to verify identity. In practice it doesn't recognize me, which basically means I'm being greeted by an error message every time I open my laptop, which is pretty lame. But afaict it still has a face model that it's trying to use, despite pressing "remove" and also turning off "automatically dismiss the lock screen if we recognize your face".

 

Hello Abram, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

Have you already tried to "Improve recognition" to see if that may help it work better?
