Windows 10: Hello face driver folder missing on windows 11 version 23H2

I am having an issue where the Face Driver folder appears to be missing from my Windows 11 system. I've checked the "C:\Windows\System32\WinBioPlugIns" path but I can't locate it. Could you please provide guidance on how to restore or find the missing Face Driver folder?I’ve tried multiple YouTube tutorials, including stopping and starting the Windows Biometric Services and changing it to "Automatic," as well as making changes in gpedit.msc, but nothing has worked.Thank you for your assistance!Best regards,Hamidullah Hamdard

Windows 11 23H2 Taskbar Icons Missing Again (again)

I had icons missing on the task bar. I completed the steps in the following link (microsoft question). The icons came back. When I went to update my nvidia drivers, the icons are now missing again. I followed the steps below and they did not fix the issue like they did before I updated the nvidia drivers. I can't figure out how to revert to the old drivers so I'm not quite sure what to do.

Windows hello face will not recognize any cameras

Hi, I recently built a new PC, been doing it for 25 years or more. I did a clean Windows 10 Pro install, and everything went great and the system works fine ... Except Windows Hello Face.

I have a Logitech Brio 4K UHD that supports Face, and I used it on the previous build and it worked fine. When I try and enable it, I get the "can't find compatible camera" message. I feel like I've tried everything on the Web. I also noticed the "Biometrics Devices" folder in device manager isn't there, despite the camera being present.

This is what I know and what I've tried:

• Windows update is current on everything, including optional updates
  
• The camera works fine for Hello on my Windows 10 and my wife's Windows 11 laptops
  
• The driver installed for my camera under "imaging devices" in device manager is the same version as the laptop it works on
  
• I've installed the driver several times
  
• Removed and re-added the Windows Hello Face optional feature several times
  
• Manually installed the INF file in the Windows bio folder several times
  
• Enabled several group policies and registry keys per internet suggestions
  
• The camera absolutely supports Hello
  
• I tried several USB ports on different motherboard controllers
  
• I've run the several suggested DISM and SFC command line utilities ... Everything checked out
  
• Disabled anti-virus
  

I'm not going to re-install Windows ... This is a fresh install on an empty M2 drive and I spent the weekend setting it up. Everything else works perfectly.

Any suggestions? I'm out of ideas. Thanks.
