    Windows Hello Face and Fingerprint quit working after last windows update


    I have HP Envy x360 less than 1 year old. After most recent windows update on my computer a couple days ago I now don't have the option to sign in via fingerprint like I always have. When I go to the settings I see it says "We couldn't find a fingerprint scanner compatible with Windows Hello Fingerprint." It also shows the same message with Windows Hello Face..."Could not find a camera compatible..."


    What happened, and how do I fix it?

    :)

    Windows Hello Face/Fingerprint

    The Windows Hello Face/Fingerprint feature was working on my HP Envy and now it is not working and it says that my laptop camera/fingerprint scanner is not compatible, when it was working less than 12 hours ago. When I look into how to reconnect or find
    Window Hello Fingerprint/Face biometrics the only help I get is to the Windows 10 sign-in options.
    I need to know how and were to find the Windows Hello Face/fingerprint biometrics management settings that is not in the sign-in options, but is how to re-download it or check it's compatibility status with my laptop.
