Hi.

So no matter what I try Windows Hello keeps saying "..not recognizing fingerprintscanner" - how do I get the fingerprint scanner to work on the machine. I did try to uninstall the driver in Device manager, and download and reinstall the drivers from HP tho, it doesnt work...

 

Thx

Thomas

Did you buy option  Fingerprint reader for your machine. If not, you can buy part # 849912-001 and install to your machine otherwise you can see a small window but NO sensor/reader under neath.

 

You can buy part on the following link
