Windows Hello face set up recognition registration (Not taking pictures of my face)

Please help!

I am using an ACER Aspire Vnitro 17 Black Edition with a built in Intel Realsense f200

-



Windows Hello Facial Recognition was working just fine before, but it just suddenly stopped working. I decided to disable the Facial Recognition and Register my face again.

But when setting up the Facial Recognition it just stops at the camera portion where it's supposed to be taking pictures of my face.

It just stops there and will not go forward.

I updated all the drivers for the camera but so far it is still not working. I'm stuck.

Please help!! Thanks!!
