HI,

Do you have the HP Support Assistant installed? If you do, check for driver update availability.

Otherwise, the drivers for your notebook are available at the support portal for your notebook at the hyperlink below.

Reinstall the latest Synaptics Fingerprint sensor driver and then set up the fingerprint login again.

The driver you need is at the hyperlink below

I suggest running a bandwidth test on your internet connection. You can also do that with your phone, but be aware that they are two different device types. Are you certain that you aren't using some of your mobile data to get that smooth streaming on your phone?

I am a volunteer forum member. If my suggestion helped you solve your issue, help others by marking that post as the accepted solution. Say thanks by clicking on the Yes button next to the "was this reply helpful?"
