Hi @jaybeff51
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query.
I understand that you are facing issues with the face recognition sign in. I would request you to please follow the steps:
Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try in the meantime:
Check Camera Privacy Settings
- Go to Settings > Privacy & security > Camera and make sure apps (including Windows Hello) are allowed to use the camera.
Update Drivers
- In Device Manager, right-click your camera under Imaging devices and select Update driver → Search automatically for drivers.
- Also check HP Support Assistant for any pending updates specific to your model.
Reinstall Windows Hello Face Feature
- Go to Settings > Apps > Optional features.
- If face recognisition is missing, click Add a feature, search for it, and reinstall.
- If installation fails, ensure your system is fully updated via Windows Update before retrying.
Run Hardware Troubleshooter
- Open Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters and run the Camera troubleshooter.
Take care and have an amazing day!
