It sounds like your computer does not have a high-grade IR camera.

Drivers cannot fix "not the right kind of camera".

Hello Face requires that your particular computer include the correct type of camera to support the "Face" feature.

Use one or more of the following methods to check whether your camera supports the feature.

Method – Use PartSurfer to check the components in your computer

PartSurfer might be able to tell you exactly which parts came with your computer.

 Open PartSurfer

• Select your Country
• Search for your computer / printer / device >> See HINT
• Need Help?  Tab Self help > find and open the User Guide and FAQ

How to use PartSurfer:

• Select your region / country - PartSurfer must know your general location
• Enter your device Product Number , Serial Number, or Part Number in the Quick Search box
• HINT: To see a system-specific list, replace the Product Number with your device Serial Number

Look the results for “WEBCAM”

NOTE:  Some newer models may list the device as “camera”

Method - Check your computer to find the type of camera

Control Panel > icon view > Device Manager 

Open Category Cameras

Method – Check Settings for “Windows Hello Face”
