    [SOLVED] Fingerprint sensor not working after powering laptop on (from shutdown)

    Thank you for the quick response. It turns out if I unplug the power and restart it, then there is no problem with the fingerprint sign in on battery. If I restart while it is still connected, the fingerprint is not detected. Edit: I have just ran the sfc/ scannow and it said it found no issues.

    [SOLVED] Fingerprint sensor not working after powering laptop on (from shutdown)

    I have an Acer Swift 5 SF515-51T laptop with 8GB RAM. As the title suggests if I turn the laptop off and then on Windows Hello doesn't detect the fact that I'm touching the sensor at all. If I put the pc to sleep, or just sign out and then sign in it unlocks completely normally with the...

    Monitor doesn't recognize HDMI and proceeds to power off

    I have had this monitor (LG 22EA53) for 3 years and during this time I've been using a VGA cable to connect my GPU to it. I installed RX 480 a day ago which unfortunately doesn't have a VGA port and neither is my DVI to VGA adapter compatible. The problem is each time I power off my PC the...

    Upgrading to Windows 10 on another drive without clean install

    Hello. I currently have an HDD, on which I have Windows 7 installed, but about a year ago I bought a Samsung EVO 850. I heard that I needed to delete everything on my HDD in order to move the OS install to the SSD so I just didn't bother, since I did not want to download again 800 GB of games...
