Spectre X360 15.6

I just recently got my hp Spectre x360, my windows hello fingerprint worked the first day and after it stopped working. When I go in sign-in options, the Windows Hello Face, Fingerprint and PIN have a message "This option is currently unavailable". I've tried restarting my laptop and having all the windows Update up to date including drivers for biometric devices and cameras. 

I also created a new user account as an administrator, on this account, the Windows Hello is working.

 

Why is it not working on my main account?

Thank you

I reviewed your post and I understand that the Windows hello is not working on your main account.

 

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

 

Do you use a Microsoft account?

 

Meanwhile, I recommend you follow the steps in the below article and check if it helps.

Hello thanks for you're reply,

 

I looked at the link and the problem is that I cant remove or add a PIN, Fingerprint or face Id. The remove and add button at grey and don't work. At the moment my fingerprint works but I can't add or remove it. The settings seems to be blocked.
