    Windows 10 Hello + UAC


    I am interested in purchasing the Logitech Brio camera to be used with Windows 10 Hello to log me into my machine.

    I have never used Hello before so I am curious, can this be used with UAC when prompted for credentials to gain admin rights? In other words, if I login to Windows using Hello and I am later on prompted by UAC when I need admin rights, can I use my face/Hello to authenticate?

    Is this possible? *sarc This would be cool!

    :)

    Windows 10 apps ask for login when you are already logged in to Windows

    Hi,

    To resolve your concern about Windows 10 apps which is asking you to login, we suggest that you turn off the UAC on your computer. Please follow these steps:

    • Go to Start.
    • Select Control Panel.
    • In the search box, type UAC, and then click Change User Account Control setting.
    • To turn off UAC, move the slider to the Never notify position, and then click
      OK.
    • Administrator permission required If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    • You will need to restart your computer for UAC to be turned off.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Windows 10 Hello + UAC

    Answering your question No.....Hello is just a biometric means of signing in, an extra safeguard layer to gain access, you will also have to have a pin number for dual authentication.
    You could if you wish pass on your suggestion in feedback hub.

    My Logitech BRIO camera arrived today and I have it working with Windows 10 Hello.

    Turns out you *can* use Hello authentication when you get a UAC prompt.
