    Why can't I set up facial recognition?


    I changed my glasses and I wanted to change my photo for the facial recognition feature. When I go to the place to do this, I can't do it because the screen freezes at the 'sign in options'...all the other options work. My OS is win10 with an HP laptop.

    This feature worked before...but lately, I had to use my PIN more often to sign in because, I guess, my face wasn't recognized?

    Any suggestions will be welcomed. Thanks.

    :)

    Why can't I set up facial recognition?

    Facial recognition

    Hello Bill,

    We need to do further investigation on your concern so that we will know why the facial recognition quit working:

    • Have you recently made any changes/updates prior to this issue?
    • Is there an error message when you try to sign using facial recognition?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?

    In the meantime, I would suggest that you perform the troubleshooting steps in this
    article.

    We will wait for your response.

    Regards.
