  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  As far as I know that something like this is not possible.

• HP ENVY 17 G0U21AV - is there a way to disable the fingerprint reader?

  I use a HP ENVY 17 G0U21AV 8.1 Windows.

  This model came with a fingerprint reader in the lower left corner of the computer. Although this seems to be a nice feature, it is not one that I plan on using (I use LastPass to my passwords). I keep my Palm on the scanner that will bring to the top of the screen for HP SimplePass accidentally part traffic. This can come from the most inopportune moments, and it can become quite annoying always trying consciously avoid the fingerprint reader.

  Is it possible to disable the fingerprint reader?

  Thank you.

  @DSWJoshua,

  Thanks for posting. You can disable the fingerprint reader. For completeness, I'll give you steps to disable the driver itself and the biometric support, so you should not worry about this later.

  To disable the driver, go to control panel, then Device Manager. Expand biometric devices. Right-click on the sensor of validity and uninstall it.

  To disable biometric support, go to the Control Panel, biometric devices then. Uncheck allow users to log on to Windows using their fingerprints, and then save it.

• Satellite Pro S500-10F: how to disable the fingerprint reader

  We just purchased a portable Satellite Pro S500-10 which has the fingerprint reader. Does anyone know how we can disable this facility of the laptop, we do not remove program only disable the installation.

  Thank you

  You can disable it in Device Manager. If it's not ideal, I guess you could send the laptop to an ASP to have the fingerprint reader physically disconnected.

• How can I disable the fingerprint to signin reader?

  When I loaded the first Microsoft Windows 7, it seems to me do not give any the choice to have a password (or digital fingerprint) needed to connect.  I normally wouldn't use restrictions of access, but thought "oh what the devil?") and segt by th fingerprint scanner.  For more than a year that it worked pretty well, but in the end, either my fingerprint has changed (!) or the drive fell into a sort of disrepair.  In any case, I want my listing, as eliminate it and the password requirement.  But I can't find any way to do it.

  HELP, please!

  Disable the fingerprint reader in Device Manager.  BUT make sure first that the password works and you know what it is.  Otherwise you lock you up.

  I guess it's an HP computer, right?

• ENVY 15-k006tx: does not fingerprint reader

  Recently, I upgraded to win 10 (64-bit) Home from 8.1 to win.

  Since then, he had problems with the fingerprint reader.  I can start the machine by sliding my finger, but after the screensaver login screen, I couldn't. From there, I could use only PIN or password when connect you. In the end I had to disable the fingerprint reader.

  Yetserday I handed my machine to win 10. After that the fingerprint reader does not work on my machine together al. It doesn't show any option for fngerprint anywhere

  Manager of devices will display a yellow mark excalmation on sensors Synaptice FP.

  HP simple pass does not show me the option of fingerprint.

  I tried to install the driver from the HP site but once again, but it was of no use.

  Would appreciate if you can help me with this.

• Want to fire green W701 fingerprint reader when the laptop is turned off

  I realize the amount of electricity it uses is trivial, but unfortunately the accusation that carries the battery isn't much else. For the most part it's just because I don't have a use for the fingerprint reader. I completely uninstalled the software from the control panel. I thought that would get the light, but the "light on" survived the uninstaller not so complete.

  I hope that there is a way to do it in the bios. If necessary I could re-download the software of fingerprint and do a from there, if possible.

  It is possible to do anyway, please let me know. It's a minor thing, but I'm pretty annoyed that I'd make a sort.

  When you turn on the computer (off-state), press F1 when you see the Lenovo logo (until the BONES start to load). "I think that you should find the fingerprints under security settings). It shouldn't be too hard to find.

  Edit: Looks like that I don't remember it correctly. In the BIOS, you have the option to completely disable the fingerprint reader, but you do not have the option to turn off the green light only without disabling the fingerprint reader. If you want to disable the fingerprint reader completely turn off the computer, then turn on and press F1 when you see the Thinkpad logo (prior to the OS). When you enter BIOS click protection on the menu, and then select access to the Port of IO. In this list, you should have the ability to disable the fingerprint reader that I am sure that will also disable the go-ahead since the sensor is no longer in use. Press F10 to save and exit from BIOS.

  To remove the green light only, or disable the option to turn on your computer by sliding the finger without completely disabling the fingerprint reader, in my view, you must reinstall the fingerprint reader software. Then, you must open the application after installation and type your password or by the finger scan enter enter parameters. Then click the settings button in the toolbar and you should have several tabs where you can turn off the green light or disable the use of fingerprint predesktop authentication.

• Tecra R940 - fingerprint reader does not

  Hey,.

  A few days ago I was on my Tecra R940 and I got the messages re, a USB device unplugged series. I do not think it a lot at the time, but since then my fingerprint reader has stopped working.

  I can not connect via fingerprints, and when I run the utility of fingerprints, he says: "unable to connect to the probe.

  I ran the test of Toshiba PC diagnostic tool and it passed everything except the Modem test (I jumped, do not have a telephone line).

  Any ideas on how to diagnose this?

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  > I can not connect via fingerprint, and when I run the utility of fingerprints, he says: "Failed to connect to the sensor.

  If the fingerprint sensor is available, it must be in the Device Manager.
  I would recommend that you go to Device Manager and check if the fingerprint sensor is listed there.

  Note: in some cases the option of fingerprints is available in BIOS and fingerprints can be enabled or disabled it. That's why I also recommend to check this option.

  Where the fingerprint sensor appears not in Device Manager and in BIOS of fingerprints is activated, I guess that hardware malfunctions and this can be solved by the replacement.

• Portege R830: don't seem to be able to get the fingerprint reader to work

  HI - need help.

  I have a Toshiba R830 I got "downgrade" to Windows 7 32 bit version pre-installed 64-bit. Long story - but it's the software compatibility.

  Despite the download and the installation of what I think is all the relvant 32 drivers - I don't seem to be able to get the fingerprint reader to work.

  I downloaded and installed the software fp-sw-201103311304 Tosh - chilled out and tried to install it.

  It's actually hard to know if it is installed! I get a window telling me it will extract the file in a directory C:\temp and tells me at the same time that 'tinstallwb.exe' will start once the extraction is complete.

  It seems to extract - but I do not see that the installation is happening.

  Subsequently it is has that nothing listed in the title of the programs - and nothing "launches."

  In Device Manager - I can't see anything that is listed as "fingerprint reader" under security features - the list is TPM 1.2. Not actually sure that is nothing to do with the fingerprint reader - well I've enabled and then disabled via the BIOS.

  Am I missing something?
  Could the reader [which I have not used since the new - even if it's only 8 weeks] have stopped working?

  Would be very grateful for pointers.

  Try to start the installation manually. On the desktop create a folder unpack and after doing the beginning downloaded exe. Extract the files to the folder unpack and disable command run after extraction.

  When files are checked almost open and Toshiba archive extracted file extractor. You will find setup.exe.
  Try please to start it manually.

• Windows 8 fingerprint reader no longer works (need to Flash the BIOS to fix)

  I have a DV6-7014nr bought around September of 2012.  I have upgraded to WIndows 8 when it first came out.  I had no problem with the reader of fingerprints on Windows 7, but do not use for a long time.

  As the subject says.  I can run it for a few weeks (on Windows 8), and the fingerprint reader stops working.  None of the biometric devices are listed in the Device Manager.  If I try to load the driver, it does nothing, as if the player is simply not there the responsibility of the driver closes just (with no message).

  Peripheral Biometirc in the Panel control says there is no biometric device found and simplepass opens without the fingerprint reader recognized.

  The only thing that solves this is my BIOS which comes Insyde to re-flashing. It is noted in the setup of the BIOS relating to biometric devices.  I have just discovred that BIOS update solves a problem because there was an update that I applied.  Have to reapply the update of the BIOS to fix this seems excessive to us.

  Added March 29, 2013:

  I just re-applied the BIOS two days ago and already the figerprint teader plug working again.  I tried a hard reset (because I saw that as a solution previously, and it is easier and faster to re-flashing the BIOS).  Who has shut down, remove the battery, now the power for 30 seconds button, boot the system without the battery.  He has not fixed the problem and I can't even understand why the fingerprint reader keeps disabling.  A re-BIOS flash solves the problem, it seems that the problem must be with the BIOS software.  Oh I also had turned off the "Allow windows to turn off the device to save power" for the biometric device before he went kaput.  It doesn't stop of is suckier.

  There must be a better way.

  Thank you

  Hello cjwh888,

  Try to restore your BIOS then use Recovery Manager to restore your software and drivers.

  Please let me know if it helps.

  Good luck!

• Qosmio X 500 - 11 d: Fingerprint reader question and webcam problem

  Hello

  I am the owner of a portable X 500 - 11 d of Qosmio computer and I ran into a few problems these last time:

  1. After installing windows 7, the fingerprint reader has worked flawlessly for about a month, but now the login screen of windows 7 not poster not the option to connect with the fingerprint and when I try to start the utility of fingerprint toshiba it gives an error could not connect to the sensor.

  The strange thing is that I can't find the finger print sensos under Device Manager. Windows just does not detect it. I tried to reinstall the drivers and software, I've updated the bios but nothing works.

  2. the camera on the laptop, it is installed properly (the said driver is ok) but when you use the image is all black. I should mention that the blue light turns on when you use the camera.

  I tried to find a solution to the fingerprint issue o the forum here, but nothing has been using, hope someone knows how to solve.

  > The strange thing is under the Device Manager I don't think the impression sensos finger; Windows just does not detect it. I tried to reinstall the drivers and software, I've updated the bios but nothing works.

  Well, I m sure this laptop model X 500 - 11 d supports the fingerprint sensor.
  Please set the BIOS to default settings and check if there is a BIOS setting that can enable or disable the fingerprint sensor.

  > 2. The camera on the laptop, it is installed properly (the said driver is ok) but when you use the image is all black. I should mention that the blue light turns on when you use the camera.

  I had the same problem. In my case, that the room was too dark and the cam didn't work well. I had covered the lens of the webcam and after that I withdrew my finger from the webcam, webcam worked again. Notes; the room was very bright and the probe could catch the environment. I don't know if this could help Mr. maybe, you need to uninstall the webcam software before you try this procedure

• X 1 carbon Touch Fingerprint reader 'can not find the fingerprint sensor device' e7210005

  Hi all

  I have spent far too long trying to solve this problem by myself and need to reach out to someone who may have solved this problem. I read tons of questions similar online and restarted from dozens of times after trying many different things.

  I have a carbon 3444-GCU Touch who can not see his fingerprint reader. It used to work when it is brand new, but after many updates from lenovo and windows, it now does not work:

  

  I'm on Windows 8.1, with all updates.

  No problem in Device Manager.

  Coprocessor (WBF advanced mode) Fingerprint TouchChip installed under thin biometric devices.

  _Not_ power management value disable device to save power.

  The bios is 2.61.

  I suspect that the problem is very low, because even the BIOS can not find the device trying to implement.

  If I have the lates BIOS, but it can't see the camera - what can I do?

  Thank you all...

  you have a faulty drive.

• Fingerprint reader not working not not upon awakening from sleep for the windows login

  Hello
  I have a new T540P with a validity fingerprint reader.

  About 80% of the time, the fingerprint reader does not meet the windows login screen after the wake up the computer from sleep mode. It works 100% of the time when starting from a stop position, however. Once connected, it also works 100% of the time. The question arises when you log in to windows.

  I tried many things

  -uninstallation/installation of the device in the Device Manager and finger print manager pro software

  -prints of setting through two fingerprint Manager software pro (lenovo) OR through the windows built in options of the control panel of the fingerprints

  -disabling "allow windows to turn off this device to save power" in Device Manager.

  Thus, I must say that I have an another T540P I ordered as a replacement. Both models encounter the same problem.

  Is it a matter of broad platform affecting all models of T540P? It's frusterating.
