However, the latest update for Windows 10 might actually cause a few problems to Windows Hello, as it caused the majority of the system’s features. In case you encountered any issue with Windows Hello upon installing updates, don’t worry, because we prepared a few solutions that might help you to solve the problem. Various factors can actually cause the problem with Windows Hello, and we tried to cover most of them. So, without any further ado, here are a few solutions for Windows Hello issues in Windows 10.

How do I fix Windows Hello problems after updates?

1. Turn off Fast Startup

According to reports from users who experienced issues with Windows Hello even before you performed an update, having the Fast Startup turned on can actually disable this feature, or cause it to crash. So obviously, the first thing you need to try when noticing any problem with Windows Hello is to turn off the Fast Startup. Although this option is actually recommended to be enabled, if you use Windows Hello to log in to your system, it’s better to have it disabled. However, if turning the Fast Startup off didn’t get the job done, try some of the solutions listed below.

2. Make sure your camera drivers are compatible

This solution is similar to the previous one, only it involves a different piece of hardware. Since Windows Hello uses your camera, if its driver is outdated, or incompatible with any newer updates, Microsoft’s face-recognition software probably won’t work. So, use the same method as in the solution above, and make sure your camera driver is up to date. If your camera driver is outdated, update it to the latest version, and you should be able to run Windows Hello again. We also strongly recommend DriverFix to automatically download all the outdated drivers on your PC. SPONSORED This tool will keep your system safe as you can manually download and install the wrong driver version. You will also be able to see what drivers are out of date and what version they are. Not only that, but it will also fix any drivers that are either damaged, broken, or missing altogether, all at the same time. ⇒ Get DriverFix

3. Reinstall Windows Hello drivers

Some users around the Internet reported that reinstalling Windows Hello drivers helped solve the problem. But before you re-install the driver, make sure it’s updated first, by going to the Device Manager. If your Windows Hello driver is out of date, update it, restart your computer, and try running Windows Hello again. On the other hand, if your Windows Hello driver is up to date, try reinstalling it, as we originally said.

4. Run Windows 10 Troubleshooter

If none of the solutions listed above managed to solve the problem with Windows Hello caused by your most recent update try a universal solution, that could work for more than one Windows 10-related problem. That solution is Windows 10’s built-in diagnostic and troubleshooting tool, Windows Troubleshooter. So, run the Windows Troubleshooter, and see if it can solve the problem for you.
