Product: Elitebook 840 G5 Health Care edition
Since my first HP laptop I've had this issue on many models and OS's. I use hibernation all the times as I don't want to wait for a full system start and having to open all things again. But this leads to sometimes windows stops recognizing the fingerprint sensor and thus that option is disabled to log in, leaving place to having to manually type the user password.
Fingerprint starts working once machine does a full restart or shutdown, but as long is hibernated again and again sometimes it will stop working.
Please advise.
