For the fingerprint sensor give installing the driver a shot.

It is worth your while to use Windows update to see if the are more hardware drivers available.

Thanks. i downloaded the fingerprint driver and installed from the link but still not working and the first two links i cant find drivers for windows 11 and biometric device is still not showing. 

HP Recommended

Did you try installing the Synaptics fingerprint sensor filter driver found at the same driver page?

 

I do note that on a search that this issue has been unresolved for ours and other laptops from Ja. 2021.

 

You can try the Lenovo or Dell versions of the Synaptic Fingerprint sensor driver to see if they work. The driver will either work or it won't. Trying it will not cause any harm to  your hardware or OS.

 

Do a search online with Windows 11 Synaptic Fingerprint sensor driver as your key words.

Will that work if biometric devices is not showing in device manager?

 

HP Recommended

I downloaded and installed and yet still fingerprint is still unavailable at sign-in options

HP Recommended

In that case I will have to say that your Synaptics fingerprint sensor is just not supported in Windows 11 at this time.

 

If you go to the Synaptics website and look for drivers, you could get lucky. Don't hold your breath on that.

 

You don't have much choice other that to wait until it is or upgrade to a notebook that has full Windows 11 support.
