Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello guys Here i found a solution after searching lot of solution

 

 

I got it working on my pavilion dv6 6170us

hope this works on all who had this problem

 

 

Problems you  got : (Windows 10)

My Fingerprint sensor not working on my hp laptop

My Vilidity sensory not recognized my sensor

My biometric sensor not working... cause of drivers

Unable to install the drivers on Finger scanner

blob blob blob.......................

the only solution is here 😛

 

 

Step : 1

 

First you need to Enable Biometric from adminstration

 

1.  click on win+R ( this opens Run ) and Enter this code "gpedit.msc" as in screenshot Below

2. This will open Local Group Plolicy Editor

 

Follow the Screen shots

Double clik on the " Allow the Use of Biometrics "

 

then enable it -> apply and set ok and close all the windows and reboot the system

Now you are almost done...............

 

 

Step : 2 ( This is main and the Step 1 too )

 

1.  Click on win+x there select device manager

2. Make sure you should be running this version of validity sensor ( Follow Screen shot below )

If not then Uninstall the drivers and Install them From WIndows update ( not by Hp drivers )

 

So that windows will install the required files which need

 

This is because of Windows Hello

 

Now you are done with is ( you should be sure about these 2 steps else nothing works )

 

 

Step : 3

 

There are 2 options for us to use

 

1. Winsows Finger Print Scanner

2. Hp Simple Pass 

 

Hope i can tell you one thing that 

only one of these options/ software works

 

2. First i would like to Start from Hp Simple Pass

 

a. You should not activate the windows Hello 

 

b. Install HP simple Pass for Windows 10 from here ( for me out of many only this worked ) Click here

 

c. Install and follow the HPSimplePass Instructions and reboot hope everything works fine ( tested and working )

 

If you activate the Windows Hello Fingerprint, then Simple pass dont open

 

1. Windows Hello FingerPrint Lock ( i Preffer this because this worked more perfect than simple pass )

 

a. click win then type "fingerprint" and click on settings as shown on screen shot below

b. When opened to setting First you need to set pin then only Windows Hello will be turned on ( for Fingerprint option to enable)

 

Settings.jpg

 

c. There click on add and Follow the Windows finger print Instructions

 

and finally you are done

 

In this case the Hp Simple Pass dont work/ open

If you click on remove then Hp simple pass will work

and you will get working

 

 

Good Luck guys

Hope this will help you all
