x14 R1, face unlock not working, #2

Alienware x14

Alienware x14

x14 R1 is under a year old and under warranty.

Face unlock worked perfectly until one day it just stopped working. The red blinking lights that normally show up when I attempt to sign in doesn't anymore.

Windows Hello detects my face and sets up fine but barely works no matter how many times I try and improve recognition.

This has been an issue for almost 6 months now.

I've done the following:

  • updated windows
  • updated bios
  • reinstalled all camera drivers
  • reinstalled windows hello face unlock
  • restarted numerous times
  • used the dell diagnostics tool (said nothing was wrong)
  • used the windows troubleshooting tool (said my Bluetooth icon was showing!?)
  • tried to set up windows hello (does nothing)

It could be a camera problem that requires a tech. Since you are under warranty I would suggest calling Dell tech support.

I believe that to be the only reason, I know a person with the exact same laptop and it works. Also as of recent the back light has begun to act strange.
