Windows 10 and Windows 11 come with improved security and one of these features that improve the security of your computer is fingerprint scan.
A fingerprint scan sounds amazing if you have confidential data on your computer and you don’t want anybody to access it. However, it seems that fingerprint scanning isn’t working for some users on Windows 11/10.
The message states that We couldn’t find a fingerprint scanner compatible with Windows Hello fingerprint so let’s see how we can resolve this issue.
