1. Common Issues

• Unable to Register Fingerprint
  Repeatedly prompts “Please try again” or “Finger not detected” during registration, never completing.
• Recognition is Insensitive / Frequently Fails
  Fingerprint can be registered but often fails to unlock, requiring password/PIN to access.
• Registration Successful but Unable to Unlock
  Shows registration completed, but unlocking still fails to recognize fingerprint.
• No Response from Sensor
  No vibration, no prompt, no light change when finger is placed on sensor.

2. General Basic Handling

• Clean Finger and Sensor
  1) Finger should be dry, free of sweat, oil, peeling skin, or wounds
  2) Wipe the sensor gently with a dry cloth, no dust, water stains, or protective film covering
• Change Finger Angle
  Do not press only one spot; try using the fingertip, edges, and sides
• Restart the Computer
  Resolves temporary system freezes and service abnormalities
• Confirm Login Method is Normal
  Windows system requires setting a password and PIN before fingerprint setup
• Confirm Fingerprint Login Service is Enabled
  Press Win+R, enter services.msc, find Windows Biometric Service, ensure it is “Running” and startup type is “Automatic”. 

3. Standard Solution Process (Most Effective)

• Step 1: Delete Existing Fingerprints
  Windows: Settings → Accounts → Sign-in options → Windows Hello Fingerprint → Remove
• Step 2: Re-register Fingerprints
  Windows: Settings → Accounts → Sign-in options → Windows Hello Fingerprint → Set up (Follow the on-screen instructions, repeatedly lift and place your finger down again, allowing the sensor to capture fingerprint features from different angles until the progress bar completes.)
