Assuming you have completed the following:

• HP software and drivers have been updated on your computer, for OTHER than the fingerprint reader driver, including the latest chipset and BIOS for your computer.
• Windows Updates are current and completed.  You are updated to Windows V1903 

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Windows V1909 is possible to have been added to your system but is perhaps not yet supported on general distribution at this writing - there is likely no workaround if the available fingerprint driver will not work in V1909 - you will have to wait for a new driver.

If yes, continuing...

After other dates are completed, update the fingerprint reader driver
