When trying to set up Windows Hello facial recognition, the blue square in the configuration window never appears. I've already tried reinstalling drivers and nothing worked.

Most of the software / drivers are a couple of years old --
There is a newer BIOS to try if it is not already installed.
Reminder
Before you update the BIOS, do make sure you have all your critical files and data backed up to other than the local system.
What?
BIOS update usually works -- if it does not you do want to have access to your data if the system becomes unavailable.

Sure - open a new thread - there might be magic I've missed.
