Problem: Since the recent Windows update, the fingerprint reader fails to read my fingerprint. It worked normally before. The failure also happens again whenever I leave the laptop running for a few days without shutting down, even without a new update. The device recognises no fingerprint and Windows Hello sign-in fails.
What I have tried: - Restarting the laptop - Re-registering my fingerprint in Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options - Updating the fingerprint/ControlVault driver from Dell's website - Running Windows Update and Dell SupportAssist
I understand Dell has documented a similar issue involving the ControlVault driver after a Windows update, so I would like to know whether my model is affected and what the recommended fix is.
Please advise on a permanent solution, and whether the driver, firmware, or Windows update is the cause.
