Welcome to the HP Community --

 

The source of the problem is perhaps that the computer lacks a Fingerprint reader.

What?

The fingerprint reader is an OPTION -- not all computers have the sensor included in the hardware.

The driver is worthless without the hardware installed inside the computer.

See Pages 16-18

 

If your computer does have the fingerprint reader sensor, it will be listed in the Device Manager.

 

Control Panel > icon view > Device Manager

Tab View

Check Show hidden devices

Select Devices by Type

Open Biometric devices

 

Example - Device Manager - Biometrics / Camera

Device_Manager_Biometrics_Camera_1Device_Manager_Biometrics_Camera_1

 

 

If your computer does have the fingerprint reader, the Driver is here:

Synaptics (Validity) Fingerprint Sensor Driver
