Windows 10: Windows hello options unavailable

I've already asked for help on this but I guess I'll need to ask again. My windows hello options are unavailable and I don't know how to get them back. They were working before and then I one day when I went to log on my computer it stopped working. I have an Asus vivobook s14/15. I've already tried to update my drivers but I ran into an issue and haven't gotten any feedback on how to work around the issue. I have called microsoft support and have already asked this question. I would really appreciate some real assistance on this issue. Thanks.

However, please let us know:
