Fingerprint sensor not working on Dragonfly

[ARuz]

When trying to use the fingerprint sensor I continuously get the error "Something went wrong on our end.  Please try again."

Need help to get the sensor working at login.

Thanks!

Product introduced Spring 2020.

It is difficult to know what to offer when we do not know what you have already tried.

The following outlines the normal sequence of events necessary to kick the fingerprint reader into operation.

Worthy of note:  The driver is only part of the setup.   Fingerprint logon is controlled by Windows.
