Does the XPS 13 9365 camera support Windows 10 face log-in?
I wasn't able to find this anywhere and I don't see it as an option when configuring log-in options, even after setting up a PIN.
Thanks!

good news everyone!
I am on the creators update build (pre release ISO) and the face login works now. The IR camera is recognized and it works relatively well in recognizing my face.

That system doesn't appear to have an infrared camera but I should work with a webcam although I have not tried it.
Not sure if Win 10 Home is capable, maybe someone else will know.
I found this, so maybe a webcam won't work.
"To use Windows Hello with biometrics specialized hardware, including fingerprint reader, illuminated IR sensor, or other biometric sensors is required. Hardware based protection of the Windows Hello credential/keys requires TPM 1.2 or greater; if no TPM exists or is configured, credentials/keys protection will be software-based.

Face recognition doesn't show up as an option. Only the fingerprint and PIN options show.

I have heard that it does have an IR camera and that windows hello will be added to this XPS when windows gets updated in a few months with better hello support

Hi, hmm, that's annoying, I was expecting it to work out of the box. Can you tell me where you heard this so I can monitor the status please?

The unit does not have an IR camera although it does have two web cams, for some reason. It does have a finger print reader..
My Inspiron 17 7000 does have the IR camera and facial works great with it so does not appear to be related to windows.

these system were built before the camera came out. look for them to possibly be on the next set of xps as this line is prebuilt with 4-5 configurations once they get closer to sold out a new line up will be built. At that point we should see some IR camera's introduced

Well, I may have been wrong about exactly what the cameras are. One of the cameras seems to be using an Infrared driver. But even if it was an Infrared camera, Hello does not see it.
To tell you the truth I have no idea what the second camera is, if anything..

I can second the operability if the Infrared camera for facial rec. Mine became active and is not working for that purpose. Seeing the red flashing light from the left camera was a little different from prior experience.
The upgrade on this 9365 minimal install went fine from the downloaded .iso file.
