Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

Reminder to those reading:

The driver requires that there is an actual fingerprint sensor installed in the hardware.

Without the fingerprint reader in the hardware, the driver is useless.

 

Check that your computer includes the hardware -

If the hardware exists, then look for a driver for the reader.

 

Control Panel > icon view > Device Manager

Tab View 

Check Show hidden devices

Select Devices by Type

Expand Category (for example Biometric Devices)

Right-Click on the Driver > Select / open Properties

Tab Driver

Compare Driver version to the driver listed in system's support page Category Software and Drivers

 

Reminder

No Biometrics > Fingerprint section in Device Manager = No working fingerprint sensor in the machine.

 

Example - Device Manager – Biometric Devices
