[TARIK2]

i am using Hp envy 15 notebook product number F2C52PA#ACJ

Recently i had upgrade to windows 10 home 64 - bit. After upgrade initially finger print login was working but now it's not working anymore. Windows hello fingerprint showing ''we can't find compatible fingerprint scanner''.

After reinstalling validity driver and hp simple pass, still not working, driver not showing up in device manager too.

Despite struggle to make it work i had to reinstall windows 10 from system image removing all of my files and settings, still nothing under bio metric device in device manager.

Currently installed software and driver for fingerprint as below,

@TARIK2,

I reviewed your post and I understand that the finger print scanner is not working after upgrading to Windows 10.

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

I see that there are no drivers available for Windows 10 for your computer. I recommend you install all the Windows updates and check if it helps.

Here is how it is done.

1. Select the Start (Windows) button from the bottom-left corner.
2. Go to settings (gear icon).
3. Select the Update and Security icon.
4. Choose Windows Update tab in the sidebar (Circular arrows)
5. Select Check for updates. If there is an available update, it will begin downloading automatically.

If you continue facing the issue, then download and install HP support assistant from the below link and it will automatically download and install all the latest drivers available for your computer.

Here is how it is done.

Download link: http://www8.hp.com/in/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html?jumpid=va_r602_in/en/any/psg/pl...

1. Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.

   

2. Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.

   

3. Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.

4. Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.

5. Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.

6. Perform any other update management actions as needed.

   • Postpone an update: Click Remind me, and then select a time preference.

   • Delete an available update: Click the Delete icon  to remove the update from the list and record it in the action log.

   • Review updates status: Click Action log below the list to view installed, postponed, or deleted updates.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!

Thank you for support..

I followed all the steps but no success thanks anyway for providing updated driver.

I figure out that i have to check hardware itself as it is quite old laptop.

I opened laptop and unplugged ribbon for fingerprint scanner and plug it again.

After this procedure i can see bio matric device in device manager and it start working again.....

Thank you.
