Fingerprint Scanner no longer working in Windows 10

Hi, I just updated from Windows 7 to the Windows 10 technical preview (10130).  The fingerprint scanner on my laptop no longer works. In Windows 7 when I used it with LastPass, it worked well. Now, it does not seem to register a swipe. I tried to grab the latest drivers from the HP support site, but that did not seem to solve the issue.  Product number: A3E82AV Thanks. 

Hi , I understand that you are having some troubles with the fingerprint reader on your system, after installing the Windows 10 tech preview. You may want to try updating to the current build which is 10162. Each update tends to have a series of fixes and new features, ( and sometimes a few more issues). Currently the only drivers for Windows 10 tech preview, are a part of the operating system. Also please read the following post Welcome to the HP Windows® 10 Technical Preview discussion board. by . It includes general information about the Tech Preview as well as links to the various Microsoft pages for preview. Also if you wish to get the free upgrade to the release version of Windows 10, when it comes out, you will probably want to go back to your original factory operating system, to qualify for it. I hope this helps.

  • My USB ports and fingerprint scanner no longer work...

    This problems requires a bit of exposition and I'm bad with computers so bare with me. A few months I noticed my USBs were not working on my computer, So I tested the same USBs on another computer and they all worked so I knew something was wrong with my computer. I decided to try some "solutions" online and only made the problem worse.Before my computer would at least recognise that there was a USB and try to do something with it, only to fail miserably. If I remember correctly it would say something like "failed to install device drivers".Ever since I tried those "solutions" all it does now is make a noise when i plug in a USB. Oh and my fingerprint scanner no longer works. I remember messing around in the Device manager and messing around with things. Here is what I noticed. under the USB controllers tab there is a list that looks like this Universal Serial Bus Controllers  HP Webcam  Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controllers  Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controllers  Unknown Device  Unknown Device  Unknown Device  Unknown Device I'm certain I've done something horribly wrong...My question to you is...1. How can I fix this?2. in the event that I am unable to fix this, is it possible that restoring the computer to factory settings would do the trick?

    Hello 15lrobin  It would be more helpful if you tell us what computer model number you have and what the operating system is, so that the info we give can be more precise.

  • Fingerprint scanner no longer works after Win 8 upgrade

    HP Pavilion DV6T
    Product Number: WW142AV
    Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit)
    I upgraded to WIN8 pro from Windows 7 home premium a few days ago.  Now my Fingerprint reader no longer lights up or scans my fingerprint.  I checked the driver in device manager and it says that the driver is up to date and that the hardware is working properly.  I also downloaded the most recent update of Simplepass software for Win8 but it does not help.
    This question was solved.

    Nevermind, I found a good solution from user KingsRook14 on a microsoft answer forum.  This worked for me!

    Now, I installed HP Simplepass, but nothing happens and when I attemp to enter my Windows password, it says "invalid". I checke Device Manager and it says under Biometric Scanner, Validity Scanner, and updated it.
    Please help and let me know if you have any suggestions; it would make an even better birthday, especially being 6000miles away from home as a student-ambassador for Germany (Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange)-US State Department/CB

    Hi,
    See if you can access the notebook in Safe Mode as follows.
    Shut down the notebook. Tap away at f8 as you start the notebook to enter Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode and hit enter. 
    If you can access your Admin account in this mode, click the Start Menu, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools and launch System Restore.  Pick a restore point before the SimplePass update and then proceed with the restore process.  When complete, Windows will reboot as normal.  See if your original password/finger scan now works.
    Hope it works..

    I have an all-in-one printer/copier/fax/scanner, HP Office Jet Pro 8500.  The scanner no longer works with the Mavericks upgrade.  Is it possible to get the scanner back in use?  The printer and fax is fine, but I really use the scanner a lot.  Please helap me.

    The following link to the HP Support site indicates that scanning is still supported for the OfficeJet Pro 8500 using Mavericks but also indicates that "you may need to scan in a different way than you did before you installed Mavericks."

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Fingerprint Scanner has stopped working

    Ok, I have been trying to troubleshoot this problem for hours with no avail. I have looked up basically every suggestion out there for fixing the issue and none have worked.
    I can no longer use my fingerprint scanner to log into my laptop like I used to before. When I swipe my finger across the scanner, it doesn't even light up, and the computer regiesters nothing. I thought this was maybe because I had unintentionally uninstalled some of the related software, but I wasn't sure what.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled both HP SimplePass 2012, and the Validity Fingerprint Sensor driver from this url: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&softwareitem=ob-82046-1
    My computer told me that the Validity reinstallation was successful, and I have rebooted my computer. I have even tried a hard reset. However, when I go into Control Panel > Handware and Sound > Biometric Devices, I see Validity Sensors Inc. appear in the list, but it is always listed as "Unavailable." If I go Control Panel > Hardware and Sound and click on "Use your fingerprint with Windows" under Biometric Devices, I get a message saying
    "There are no fingerprint readers available at this time
    There are no fingerprint readers attached to this computer, or all the fingerprint readers are being used by other programs"
    Trying to go through HP SimplePass 2012 was thoroughly unhelpful, I found no menus or information related to fingerprint scanning or using fingerprints to log into Windows or anything.
    I have even went into Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Services > Credentials Manager> restart, to restart the Biometrics stuff as well. Nothing.
    So, I'm kind of at the end of my wits with this, and I've got nothing left in the playbook. Can anyone help me out? It would be very much appreciated!
    P.S/EDIT: I'm running a 64 bit Windows 7 on my laptop, if that helps anyone.

    Ok, I did a little more digging and I think I've figured out something.
    It seems like what I uninstalled and reinstalled from my computer was HP SinglePass 2012.
    What I need to be installing is HP SinglePass Identity Protection (2011?)
    Because it seems like these are two completely different things. I was confused as to why screenshots of HP SinglePass Identity Protection didn't look anything like my SinglePass software.
    Is this correct? Are these two programs different, and do I need the Identity Protection software? I'd like to believe HP DIDN'T create two different programs with the exact same name just to confuse me -_-
    Anyway, going to be trying this later today.

  • My fingerprint scanner will not work with Firefox 4.

    I used to be able to use my fingerprint scanner to log into all of the websites I use like Facebook, YouTube, Yahoo etc... But now since I updated to Firefox 4 it doesn't work anymore. The program that I use is called Digital Persona. How do I fix this issue?

    Another user got this from Digital Persona. <br />
    "Thank you for contacting DigitalPersona. There will be no update releases for DigitalPersona Personal in the future. There will be no updates for Firefox 4 nor Internet Explorer 9. IF they work they work, if they do not work with DPPersonal, then you will have to decide to either keep DPPersonal and forgo Firefox 4 or IE 9, or vice versa. DigitalPersona is leaving the consumer market and is focusing on business applications. In fact, DigitalPersona Personal will not longer be supported after Mid-April of this year. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. Sincerely, Tech Team "
    You could try this extension. <br />

  • ICloud email no longer working on Window 7.8 Phone

    I have been receiving my Apple emails on my Windows 7.8 Phone successfully for the last 2 years. About 3 months ago emails could no longer be sent or received and I typically get the following error codes dependant upon how I have my IMAP/SMTP settings configured; 800c2746 or 80072FA8.
    Apple email is working fine from my Android tablet and also from my Windows 7 PC and I've tried replicating these settings on my phone without success. I've googled the problem and tried all the different set up options I can find but not have worked. I'm beyond frustrated now and I suspect Apple has broken something during the recent iCloud work for IOS or Yosemite as nothing has changed on any of my devices and it's only my Windows phone that no longer works.
    Does ANYONE have a Windows 7 Phone (mine is a Nokia 800) that is successfully sending and receiving iCloud emails as of today, 2nd November 2014. If you do would you be kind enough to tell me what server settings you are using.
    Thanks.

    We have exatcly the same problem with Samsung omnia 7 (Windows phone 7.8).
    We are using the Server settings from this page: iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients - Apple Support
    We have this problem since mid september and no solution.

  • Skype No longer works in Windows, So I've upgraded...

    I've used Skype (with Skype credit to contact family and friends whilst on holiday) My netbook was running Microsh*te XP, but now it seems Skype no longer works, version 6.1.18 prompted to update, and would not allow me to continue using it, the new updated version doesn't work with XP, so I tried backdating to an even older version 6.1.14, but alas it's been deactivated, so I'm not replacing my netbook with a new one, nor do I want to spend as much money as my computer is worth to buy Windows 7 and attemp install on my 10" netbook with a minimal 1GB of RAM.
    So alas I upgraded... to... Linux Mint Kde (Rebecca) and now...
    Voila! Skype works perfectly 

    All the old computers I own branded or unbranded have been fully compatible with XP SP3.  If for some reason you couldn't get your computer functional in XP SP3, you could always utilize the workaround I posted here to modify XP SP2 just enough to make Skype functional.  I have a triple XP OS boot computer (XP 64-bit SP2, XP 32-bit SP2 [with workaround], XP 32-bit SP3) and they all operate just fine with the latest release of Skype (7.1).

  • CP60-615DX Touchpad and external mouse no longer work after WIndows 7 SP1 update

    Let me start by saying I am in the IT field, though clearly far from being great at it. I was updating a CP60-615DX at work with Win 7 x64 SP1. It installed with no errors or anything I'd consider abnormal. Once it was finished, the touchpad no long worked, as well as any mouse I'd hook up via Usb. So I checked Device manager, and the Touchpad is listed with the yellow exclamation mark, as well as mice I hook up. So I did what any respectable IT guy would do, I went to HP and downloaded x64 drivers for the Touchpad port and installed them. But they didn't fix the issue, literally nothing happened. So I installed the latest chipset drivers. Still nothing changed. So I uninstalled the device and manually added it by doing the advanced driver install for a new device, pointing it to the directory where the .exe file had placed the drivers. ...Nothing. So I uninstalled SP1,.... nothing. After uninstalling SP1, redid every aforementioned step, nothing. So my question is, **bleep**? Anyone know another way to fix an issue where the scrolling devices stop working and the drivers won't fix the issue? 
    Btw, the user had never set up windows restore, and my only other thought is pulling personal documents off and restoring to factory defaults. One more bit of info before I forget, when I went into Windows Recovery (which loads a pre-environment mini OS for you to restore and fix issues), the mouse worked, telling me it's not a hardware issue, it's a Windows vs devices issue.

    Hi,
    According to your description, since system reinstallation is not helpful, it's probably a hardware problem, it would be better to check if it is the device itself problem.

  • DVD optical drive no longer works with Windows under bootcamp or parallels

    For some strange reason, the DVD optical drive- Optiarc 5680 on my 27" iMac, no longer works anymore with Windows under Parallels or Bootcamp. It used to work perfectly fine before, but now it just shows up with a yellow exclamation mark under Device Manager and Code 39 "Windows cannot load the device driver..."
    The DVD drive continues to still work fine with OSX. But it won't work anymore under Windows via Parallels or bootcamp, despite trying to uninstall the optical device drivers, update, reinstall, etc. Anybody else experiencing this or have any ideas?

    Finally found the solution for anybody else who runs into this problem. It was solved by doing a registry mod in Windows from this site:
    http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.php#problems
    described in “My CD drives have vanished (from Explorer, Device Manager, etc.)”
    After applying the registry changes the DVD optical drive worked instantly again with Windows....sigh...guess I can't blame the Mac on this one.

  • GPIB-ENET driver 1.10 no longer works under Windows 2000 service pack 2

    I have used my GPIB-ENET adapters with Windows 2000. However, since I installed service pack 2, the GPIB driver 1.10 no longer works. It seems to install correctly and puts the GPIB icon in the Control Panel. After a reboot, however, the icon is gone from the control panel ! It is even gone from the install/remove programs box. I have tried this on two PC's with the same result. This is really bad as my GPIB-ENET boxes are now useless. Can you help with this?

    Thanks for the advice, but the 1.20 drivers cannot be downloaded. They must be purchased for $80 US. I have already paid many thousands of dollars for three GPIB-ENET adapters plus LabVIEW. This is really shabby. I know of no other company that charges for driver updates once you have bought the hardware. I should have bought the Tektronix adapters instead.
