@Sujith1279 Welcome to HP Community!

I understand the validity Fingerprint Sensor in windows 10 not working,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

Did you check with any alternate applications, apart from the HP Simple pass?

While you respond to that, here's what I recommend you do:

Install the HP Simple Pass Identity Protection Software for Windows 10:  ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp71501-72000/sp71729.exe 

If the issue persists, Please Click here to download the most viable driver for Windows 10  fingerprint reader (if need be) & if your

Simple Pass Software isn't working: 

Click here to download a different version of the same software. 

let me know how that pans out,

And the answer to the above question will help me, help you!

Keep me posted, and if any of the above questionnaires helped resolve the issue, 

Mark this post as an "Accepted Solution".
Good luck.
