    Why is windows Hello so awful?


    I bought a Microsoft Surface Book 2 when they first came out and initially had no problems with windows Hello. However, it stopped working over 6 months ago and none of the suggested fixes work.

    1. Windows hello thinks that my camera is not compatible - it is.
    2. All windows updates are installed, so please don't tell me to do that again.
    3. The camera drivers are fine, front and back. I reinstalled then anyway, but it didn't fix it.
    4. I've updated the registry - that didn't work.
    5. I've updated the Biometrics - that didn't work.
    6. I can't remove windows Hello as it is greyed out, so I can't re-teach it to recognise me. I also can't improve its recognition, as that is greyed out too.
    7. I can't switch to fingerprint sign in, because apparently my touchpad is not compatible.


    Has anyone been able to fix this?


    How come MS can sell machines with persistent bugs like these and show no interest in helping users fix them? I've been trying on and off for over 6 months to fix this, and each time I access this forum I'm told to do those same things that didn't work before...

    :)
