Windows 10: USB port, Ear-phone Jack, and finger print reader not working/not detectable.

When I plug-in my mouse the laser turns on but the mouse isn't detected and the same goes for my ear phones

Finger Print Reader now Inoperative

I have had issues with the finger print reader previously but have been able to get it working again, either by itself or performing suggested functions, which I no longer remember. I have a Thinkpad T470 with Windows 10. In the sign-in options, my computer
no longer recognizes finger print reader as an option. What's going on????

Windows Hello and Eikon Finger Print reader?

Thanks. Found it it under Biometric. Also realized that it had not been inserted completely in the USB port the last time. It's up and running.
