  1. Setting up a new laptop with Windows Hello Facial Recognition errors


    I am just setting up my new laptop, and decided to use the facial recognition instead of the password function. When I get to the login screen to get to the desktop, it is telling me that I need to set up a Pin. What do I do now? I cant log in to change any of the settings like it suggests in other posts.

    :)

    Facial recognition

    Hello Bill,

    We need to do further investigation on your concern so that we will know why the facial recognition quit working:

    • Have you recently made any changes/updates prior to this issue?
    • Is there an error message when you try to sign using facial recognition?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?

    In the meantime, I would suggest that you perform the troubleshooting steps in this
    article.

    We will wait for your response.

    Regards.
