Fingerprint Reader stopped working after running disable-services.ps1 #189

Hello everyone,

The disable-services.ps1 script disable "WbioSrvc" (Windows Biometric Service) which is used for fingerprint reader or facial dectector.

I think there should be a warning before running this because it took me hours to figure out why my laptop stop recognize me.

Thank you, Viet

I extended the comment next to WbioSrvc and added a note to the README's known issues section. I won't add a warning before the script is executed as they are non-interactive by design.

Aside from that, I strongly discourage the use of biometrics for authentication in any way, shape, or form.
