2 years ago Have you resolved this? I've ran into the same problem. The options to re-enable are greyed out. I went through the Group Policy Editor but couldn't find anything addressing it. I'm completely stuck here. Any idea of which specific settings are changed?

2 years ago Somehow I missed the Biometrics section the first time I went through the GPE. This actually solved the problem for me. Run: GPedit.exe Set the following: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\windows Components\Biometrics\Allow Biometrics Configure it as "Enabled" Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\windows Components\Biometrics\Allow users to log in using biometrics Configure it as "Enabled" Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\windows Components\Biometrics\Allow domain users to log in using biometrics Configure it as "Enabled"
If that still doesn't work, then this registry key may not have rolled back. Seems to be intermittent...
Change the value 0 to1. Regedit.exe: _HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Biometrics
Compulsory note about editing the registry: You can royally screw up your computer if you don't know what you're doing here. So at the very least, back up the registry before making changes.
It would be great if the devs would add a function to revert the changes made to this specifically as a separate button. Also, somehow I managed to install this without backing up the registry first, which is just plain damn weird for me. lol I think I was a little annoyed that Win11 installed at all but that's another story altogether. Again my own fault.

Well that helped. Any idea what caused this?

2 years ago In my case, it was a botched installation from my on negligence. Usually I make a registry backup before running something like this and I failed there. Then on top of it, I accidentally checked all the boxes for all the changes rather than reading through each change. Call it overconfidence. lol The installation was still in the downloads folder and one of the lines as it was running said something about deleting the files in the downloads folder. By the time I caught it, it was hung up as it was trying to delete itself I guess. But it did delete the file that it writes to during the install process that I think keeps a log of all of the changes.
Since it was gone, the uninstaller wouldn't complete. So I re-ran the installation and then uninstalled it again hoping that this might solve the problem. The uninstaller ran but it didn't solve all of my problems. I ended up rolling back from Win11 for the time being where I at least know what to expect. Now I'm still fighting weird little issues here and there. So far I was able to fix the biometrics and stop Windows from automatically pushing me back to Win11. Winzip was failing to give me a right-click extract-to folder option which took a registry edit to fix. I lost about 20% of the speed of the machine as well which was noticeable. I had run multiple tests before upgrading to Win11 without any unnecessary background activity and did the same after upgrading so I could compare and see if Win11 bogged down as some say. It was maybe 2-3% off but I'm sure there were small things that still needed to be tweaked.
It wasn't until after MY botched install of ThisIsWin11 - again, stressing that it was my own fault.... - that I had the reduced speed and rolling back didn't cure it. After poking around for hours it came back to within 5%. No clue what I did there. Just a bunch of turning things off and back on until I finally noticed it was performing a lot better.
MS Office is totally freaking out since I have two business and a home user account. It won't let me change to the third user and OneNote which previously allowed me to share all three accounts now won't let me edit anything at all. I still have a problem with Adobe CC where the updates run but constantly pop up an error looking for an msi that isn't on my machine . Photoshop has some odd glitch that wasn't there before on one of the neural filters. This thing gets in DEEP which was totally unexpected and probably the reason I was so careless. I've run DISM and SFC and all seems fine there. GPeditor shows nearly every setting at default. As I think about what it took to repair what I have so far, what else is left, and what additionally is likely there that I haven't noticed yet, I'm considering installation of an image I made a few weeks ago.
I just wish there was a complete list of each change made in some kind of format I can read. A lot of the things I resolved were done by looking through the JSON but sifting through that is such a headache that it's just as good to simply keep poking around until I solve things. With the changes all being so deep it would be nice to have. But really I can't complain. This really is my own fault for making multiple mistakes......Installing without backing up first, not exporting the registry, not paying attention to where I installed it, and finally not paying close enough attention to what I clicked on. Any one of those would have likely made this much easier! lol
I ran the .exe file of TIW11 i changed few things but didn't like the change so restore to default, and shut down my device. Later when i turn on, during login I realized that my finger print sensor is not working I spent my whole day trying fixing it but no help . Any solution other than reinstalling the windows?
