Welcome to the HP Community --

 

The computer might not have a real fingerprint sensor -- the little box might be a simple same-color cover plate where a fingerprint sensor / reader would have need installed if the purchase included the fingerprint reader feature.

What?

 

If your Device Manager does not list the Biometric section and a fingerprint reader,

then

Your computer does  not have fingerprint reader hardware.

No, missing hardware cannot be fixed with a driver.

 

Yes, the fingerprint sensor, if it is available in your country, can be added.

Fingerprint reader (not illustrated)

NOTE: The fingerprint reader cable is available in the Cable Kit as spare part number N01282-001.
The fingerprint reader insert (for use on models without a fingerprint reader) is available in the
Plastics Kit as spare part number N00113-001. The fingerprint reader bracket is available as spare
part number N02964-001.

=========================

 

If / When your computer does have a fingerprint sensor, then it's time to look for a driver.

 

Look for the driver in category Software & Drivers

Switch the Operating System / version as needed.

For example,

For Windows 11

Open sub-category Driver-Keyboard, Mouse and Input Devices (3)

ELAN Fingerprint Sensor Driver
