Windows hello reconizes me but wont dismiss lock screen on pc after recent Windows 10 update

Like my title says. I had an update last week and after that Windows hello recognizes me but doesn't dismiss lock screen. I have to swipe up and type in my pin so it unlocks. I have checked the settings as I read to check the "Automatically dismiss the lock
screen if we recognize your face" and that's on. I deleted my face recognition and set it up again and that was no help.

If it helps anything my computer is an Alienware 15 R3 7th gen i7-7700HQ, Windows 10 home 64 bit and GTX 1070.
