How to Fix Windows Hello not working on Windows 11

bWindows Hello is a biometric sign-in system that lets you log in without a password by using a near-infrared (IR) imaging camera or a fingerprint sensor.

Some users have said that they can’t use the fingerprint sensor, so that’s another thing to think about.

Also, the sign-in mechanism, which is an alternative to passwords, is widely thought to be a more user-friendly, reliable, and secure way to access important devices, services, and data than traditional login with passwords.

Windows Hello was first released for Windows 10 in 2015, and it was made its way to Windows 11 on purpose.
