  1. Windows Hello (Fingerprint) not working | Drivers up-to-date


    I have a bit of a predicament.

    I bought a brand new Matebook X Pro (from China). It was preinstalled with a Chinese version of Windows 10 wiped it completely clean and installed a Windows 10 English copy.

    Installed all drivers (and confirmed up-to-date) from Huawei's support page here:
    https://consumer.huawei.com/en/suppo...atebook-x-pro/

    No matter what I do, I can't get Windows Hello; or better yet, fingerprint sign-in working. I have a screenshot of what Windows Hello does during the fingerprint setup. (It just stays stuck).

    I've also tried editing the Local Group Policy Editor by the following steps (added screenshot):
    Computer Configuration > Administrate Templates > Windows Components > Biometrics > Enable 'Allow the use of biometrics' / 'Allow users to log on using biometrics'

    All the steps I tried unfortunately did not solve the problem which is why I'm asking you guys for help. Any input is greatly appreciated.

    :)
