    Disable Spacebar to Sign In with Windows Hello

    Hi Paulo

    Thanks for helping out here with this issue.
    I did try the steps listed on the site you suggested. No luck, unfortunately.

    The Logitech Brio can log in w Windwos Hello. But, the spacebar is still an issue. The built-in camera has the below issue FYI

    Note: UPDATE troubleshooting

    I have tried to isolate the issue and just use the built-in HP camera. Now I get "Couldn't turn on camera. Please sign-in with your PIN"

    I have also tried ALL of these steps as well. And Biometrics is enabled on the device and allows users to log-in using Biomtrics

    Fix- Windows Hello couldn’t turn camera ON problem in Windows 10 / 11 (thegeekpage.com)

    I'm wondering if we can fix the missing camera issue if that would fix the first issue with the spacebar. Just a thought

    Hi,

    This problem that started after installing the last Windows update might be caused by outdated or corrupted device drivers. For us to better assist you, we'll be needing additional information:

    • Are you pertaining on Windows Hello sign-in? If yes, does it mean that the facial recognition is not working?
    • Is there an error message displayed when using Windows Hello?

    • Click the Start button and select the Settings
      icon.
    • Choose Accounts from the list.
    • Select Sign-in options in the left pane of the window.
    • Under Windows Hello, kindly check the status of it.
