I have windows 10 Ent, build 15063.608 (joined corp domain) on HP 840G3 laptop and trying to setup fingerprint login under Windows Hello. But the setup screen constantly showing "device can not recognize my print"...screenshots attached.
I did updated the fingerprint sensor driver to the latest available. Screenshot attached as well.
Suggestions?

Thank you for posting on HP Forums,
Please find the steps below
1. Open the Settings app, and click/tap on the Accounts icon.
2. Click/tap on Sign-in options on the left side, and click/tap on Set up for Fingerprint under Windows Hello on the right side.
3. Click/tap on Get started. (see screenshot below)
4. Enter your PIN to verify it's you. (see screenshot below)
5. Scan your finger on the fingerprint reader. You will need to scan your finger a few times to set up with Windows Hello. (see screenshots below)
6. When all set, click/tap on Close, or click/tap on Add another and go to step 5 above. (see screenshot below)
