Windows 10: Windows Hello wont enable, says "Your Camera is in use by another application"

The webcam and IR sense comes on, I can tell because once I try to setup Windows Hello it turns on the green and red light. The camera app it's self works.

I had to keep trying yesterday several times before it would work, I'm not running any other antivirus programs apart from the default windows defender

WINDOWS HELLO

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I understand your inconvenience. We will assist you to resolve this issue.

I suggest you to follow the methods provided below and check if it helps.

Method 1: Enable Windows Hello.

I suggest you to check if the Windows Hello feature is enable in Group Policy editor. This option shall be enable by default. However, I recommend you to follow the steps provided below and check if it enable or not.

• 
  Press Windows logo key + R key.
  
• 
  Type gpedit.msc and press
  Enter key.
  
• 
  Under Computer Configuration, navigate to.
  
  Administrative Templates --> Windows Components--> Biometrics-->Facial
  Feature
  

In the left hand panel of the Windows, double click on the following:

• 
  Use enhance anti spoofing when available.
  

Select enable option and click on
Apply and OK button.

Now, restart your computer and check.

Note: As already mention by Mr. Anil Madishetty in the same thread.

A regular webcam will not work with Windows Hello. Since this is essentially 3-d detection, a camera with a specialized illuminated infrared camera is required.

Windows Hello requires specialized hardware, including fingerprint reader, illuminated IR sensor or other biometric sensors.

Hope it helps. Do let us know if your issue is resolved. For any further query, feel free to contact us.

Thank you.

 

Lumix GX7 Camera Wont Connect via WiFi?

Hello Steve, I don't have the PC connection problem you did, but I am failing at the final step - transferring photo files into a shared folder so I would appreciate the benefit of your success.
When I select 'Pictures' from the list of shared folders, the transfer appears to succeed, but I can't see where the files have gone to. If I create my own folder and make it 'shared' (not sure I'm doing that step correctly), the transfer is attempted but never starts and after a few seconds fails (with the message 'Connection failed'. What shared folder do you use and what do the contents look like after the transfer?
Many thanks, Scott
