HP Ultrabook 9470m
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have HP Ultrabook 9470m. I bought it from one of my friend's cousin. He had updated the laptop from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. After updating it, he sold it to me, but I was unable to find Biometric option and Face Recognition as a sign - in option or in Device Manager. I used HP remote support, but asked me to contact support assistance and declared it as a manufacturing defect. But I don't think the same way. If all these things were being used in Windows 8.1, then why not in Windows 10

I can offer the following:

 

Content applies to Window 10 version 1607

 

EDITS  29jun2017  Content edited for clarity

 

This notebook does not include the type of newer high-grade Intel RealSense camera that is required for facial recognition. 

  

 

Computer:

HP EliteBook Folio 9470m Ultrabook

 

There is a fingeprint driver available for Windows 10.

 

Removed information for Client Security - member did not ask for this information.

NOTES:  

  • Instructions for editing group policy are relevant to Windows "Pro" versions.  In limited cases, where the default fails to correctly set / interpret the default setting, editing the policy ensures the OS will enable the necessary parameters.  Whether this changes the outcome depends on whether this was an underlying cause of the failure.

 

  • If merely uninstalling the existing fingerprint driver does not make any difference, consider / try:  "Uninstall" AND tick the box (if available) to delete the driver > Install the downloaded driver > Restart the computer and log in
