    Windows Hello never working directly after a restart?


    I am witnessing an annoying "habit" with Windows Hello:
    The first time after a system start (cold, i.e. a boot or warm, i.e. restart) Windows Hello *never* works. I always only get the message "could not turn on camera" and then only the PIN-login option is shown.
    Subsequent logins typically work via camera, but the first login never does.

    Of course my system (MS Surface Pro) is at the latest patch level.

    Any idea, what could cause this? Why is the camera never ready or not available before the first login?

    :)

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
