Windows 10: Windows Hello facial recognition install driver

Hi there,

My facial recognition sign in suddenly stopped working. Following several help blogs I uninstalled the facial recognition driver in 'biometric devices' in the device manager (see photo). When right clicking/taking action 'scan for hardware changes' it however now no longer INSTALLS. It is also no longer visible in my sign in settings.

How can I re install this facial recognition driver?

Thanks





:)

 

Windows 10 Hello facial recognition feature

Sounds like a driver issue with the camera: MS requires special IR (infrared) capabilities from cameras for Windows Hello facial recognition to work. You should visit the HP support pages, and make sure you've got the right driver installed for facial recognition.

Hello Bill,

We need to do further investigation on your concern so that we will know why the facial recognition quit working:

In the meantime, I would suggest that you perform the troubleshooting steps in this
