    Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security disappear on windows 11 22H2

    Hello there,

    Recently, I was reading the document windows hello Enhanced Sign-in Security.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/w...ences/windows-hello-enhanced-sign-in-security

    According to the document, I can not find the "Enhanced Sign-in Security" state on the "Core isolation" page.

    I know the story about the win11 22H2 update leading to Windows Hello being disabled.

    My laptop is a 2022 product. It has a pre-installed win11 22H2.

    I'm sure my device satisfies the requirements of "System Compatibility" and "Biometric Sensor Compatibility."

    So my question is Enhanced Sign-in Security still available on Windows 11?

    My OS version is Windows 11 Pro 22H2 22621.1555 with Feature Experience Pack 1000.22640.1000.0
