  1. Windows Hello Sign-In Options Unavailable


    Hi there,I'd like to add a PIN to my new computer as it's just so much quicker than typing my password, but all the Windows Hello Sign-In options are greyed out and unavailable. Obviously since it said to try again later, I waited a day, but the same thing is still happening. I've tried looking at other guides but they all seem to be centred around fixing the camera or fingerprint detector, and the solutions didn't work for me. How can I fix this?

    :)

    Reset Windows Hello Biometric Database:



    1. Press Windows key + R, to open Run dialog box.
    2. Type services.msc and click on OK.
    3. Look for Windows Biometric Service, double click on it and click on Stop.
    4. Now, go to C:\Windows\System32\WinBioDatabase, take a backup of all the files inside the WinBioDatabase folder.
    5. After taking a backup of the files, delete all the files.
    6. Now, open Services by following step 1 and 2, and restart the Windows Biometric Service.
    7. Go to Start >> Settings >> Accounts >> Sign-in options and register the Face data again.

  3. Windows Hello Face Sign In Option Unavailable

    My Windows Hello Face was working perfectly until recently both my Windows Hello Face and the Windows Hello PIN stopped working, so I could only use my password to sign in. I tried to set it up again in settings but it says that "This option is currently
    unavailable", and then "Something went wrong. Try again later." below that. There is a "Set Up" option but I can't click that.

    I have an HP Pavilion x360 Convertible 14-ba0xx.

    Any help would be much appreciated! Windows Hello Sign-In Options Unavailable :)
