Как починить windows hello

Важной частью обеспечения безопасности Windows Hello является то, что распознавание лиц должно быть уверенным в том, что лицо является живым человеком, а не фотографией или другим изображением. Распознавание лиц должно иметь четкое представление о вашем лице. Если распознавание лиц пытается распознать вас, вы получите сообщение об ошибке Не удалось вас распознать. при попытке подписать. Если вы не можете выполнить вход с помощью распознавания лиц, войдите с помощью ПИН-кода или пароля, а затем улучшите распознавание лиц.

Советы

  • Убедитесь, что камера чиста и беспрепятственно

  • Проверьте освещение. Если с одной или другой стороны исходит резкий или особенно яркий свет, Windows Hello может быть труднее распознать вас

  • Некоторые необычные виды макияжа видны в инфракрасном диапазоне, и это может сделать его более трудным для распознавания лиц, чтобы узнать вас

  • Попробуйте удалить шляпы или другие аксессуары вокруг вашего лица. Очки обычно не являются проблемой, особенно если вы носили их, когда вы впервые настроили распознавание лиц, но некоторые типы шляп или других аксессуаров, которые обрамляют ваше лицо может быть

  • Настройка распознавания лиц, чтобы распознавать вас с очками и без них, если вы носите их

Примечание: Если компьютер управляется вашей работой или учебным заведением, ИТ-администратор, возможно, включил расширенный анти-спуфингов для Windows Hello. Это задает еще более высокий стандарт для распознавания и может особенно вызвать проблемы в затемненных комнатах.

Чтобы улучшить распознавание, перейдите в раздел Параметры > Учетные записи > параметры входа > распознавание лиц (Windows Hello) и выберите Улучшить распознавание.

Если у вас по-прежнему возникают проблемы с распознаванием лиц Windows Hello, попробуйте запустить средство устранения неполадок, которое может устранить проблему.

Windows 7 and later versions supported biometric sign-in. On Windows 10, the biometric sign-in option exists as an official feature known as Windows Hello.

Windows Hello is, essentially biometric sign-in however, it is divided into different types depending on the device used to sign in. Windows Hello Face uses the camera on your system to sign you in via facial recognition. If you use a fingerprint scanner, it will be set up as Windows Hello Fingerprint. And if you use a PIN, you will set up a Windows Hello PIN.

Windows Hello can be set up in different ways but by far the most selective method is Windows Hello Face. This option doesn’t work with all webcams. Instead, there is a very small list of webcams that can be used to set this feature up.

For Windows Hello Fingerprint, you will find that most fingerprint scanners, even no-name brands will work just fine if the device has been set up correctly.

If you’re trying to use Windows Hello but Windows 10 tells you the feature isn’t available, here are a few things you can do.

1. Check device compatibility 

If you’re trying to set up Windows Hello either with a webcam or a fingerprint scanner, you should check if the device is supported. 

Use this helpful tool provided by Microsoft to narrow down compatible devices/computers.

2. Install Windows Hello Face

Windows Hello Face is a service that needs to be installed in order for the feature to work. This is an optional feature so there’s a chance it isn’t installed.

  1. Open the Settings app (Win+I keyboard shortcut).
  2. Go to Apps.
  3. Click Optional Features.
  4. Go through the list of installed features and see if Windows Hello Face is listed.

  2. Enter regedit and tap the Enter key.
  3. Go to the following key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System
  1. Right-click the System key and select New>DWORD (32-bit) Value.
  2. Name it AllowDomainPINLogon.
  3. Set its value to 1
  4. Restart the system.

4. Enable Windows Hello from Group Policy

  2. Enter gpedit.msc and tap the Enter key.
  3. In the column on the left, go to Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Windows Components.
  4. Look for the Allow the use of biometrics policy and enable it.

5. Update drivers

Updating drivers may fix the problem with Windows Hello.
