    Windows hello is preventing some options from being displayed


    I bought a new laptop 2 weeks ago and am already having problems! It is an hp Envy

    I rarely take my laptop away from the house, so I don't want to use a password to log on, I just want to open my laptop and be able to use it. However, when I go onto sing-in options to choose when it requires a sign-in, there is a red sentence that says: Windows hello is preventing some options from being displayed. I have tried a number of ways to get rid of this, and they haven't worked. So I left it, and was fine with using the fingerprint scanner, which worked fine. However, 2 days ago, the fingerprint scanner stopped working for absolutely no reason. I cannot turn it back on because now it says that windows hello cannot find a fingerprint scanner to connect to, even though there is one built into the computer!!

    So now, I have disabled windows hello by going into the regedit and following various steps to make the value of something 0 instead of 1. And it looks like windows hello is disabled, except that it still says "Windows hello is preventing some options from being displayed", and it won't let me turn the password off!

    Please help me I'm going to go mad.


    Edit: I also want to say that I've been using a new usb mouse with the computer, and that has also stopped working today code 43 or something - could that have something to do with this too?

    :)
