Fingerprint reader not working after upgrade to win 8

HP Pavilion DV6T

Product number: WW142AV

Operating system: Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit)

I upgraded to WIN8 pro to Windows 7 home premium, a few days ago.  Now my fingerprint reader is no longer lights up or scan my fingerprint.  I checked the driver in Device Manager and it says that the driver is up-to-date and that the equipment is working properly.  I also downloaded the latest update of the software Simplepass Win8, but it does not help.

Nevermind, I found a good solution to the KingsRook14 user on a microsoft answers forum.  It worked for me!

  • Fingerprint reader not working after hibernation

    Does anyone else have the problem of the fingerprint reader does not work after hibernate? It is an intermittent problem, happens all the time, but frequently. Out of hibernation, it flashes, move my finger, nothing happens, flashing stops and the drive does not work after that. I have to enter my password of Windows and it does not work for all Web sites. Must restart to re-engage the drive.

    I'm on Win 7 Home Prem 64 bit with the latest drivers for the fingerprint reader and last update for Authentec software.

    So, here is the solution (s) found by Pokey and me:

    Option 1:  Computer properties, Device Manager, biometric devices, validity sensors, properties and the power management tab, uncheck the box "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

    Option 2:  Try deactivation and activation of the 'Credential Manager' service by going to control panel, Administrative Services, Manager tools of credentials.  Even if the credentials manager status is "started", stop the service credentials manager and restart it.

    Option 3:  Do both.

  • C850-A797 - Bluetooth driver satellite does not work after upgrade to win 10

    My laptop Satellite C850-A797 upgraded to windows 10 last week and Bluetooth driver not working since upgrade,

    I installed the battery Bluetooth for windows ver.9 but it also does not work.

    can someone help me with this please?

    C850 satellite is not listed as a book of 10 Windows compatible.
    This means that Win 10 drivers are not available for this unit.

    In any case, I recommend you to go to Device Manager and remove / remove Bluetooth all the partners of the devices and entries.
    In the view of mark tab also the option Show hidden devices in order to get the big picture complete.

    Now after reboot, win 10 must search for removed devices and drivers missing.

    I hope this could solve your problem of BT.

    Recently, after the update to Windows 10 fingerprint reader works just on my Pavilion dv6. I tried other methods I found on the forum, and I'm looking for a driver get the fingerprinter reader to work. I tried to download HP SimplePass (which has been removed from my PC by updating the operating system) in the hope he would get my fingerprint reader to work, but no luck.  I also looked in the settings (in Device Manager) for biomeric devices, and I found a driver with an exclamation point, indicating it wouldn't work. So, right now, I need a solution to get my to work on a fingerprint reader.

    Comment

    • The Eagle sensor recommended is actually suitable for Windows 8.1 (and 8); the driver works in Windows 10.
    • The program supported the series 8 HP SimplePass is evaluated from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

    IF you were using previously series 6 HP SimplePass (any version of HP SimplePass 6.x):

    • It is time to move as a result of program series 8 HP SimplePass supported.
    • Even if you have an export of your webcards (Web sites / passwords) of this older version of SimplePass, you can use file .tsd (import) series 6 in series 8 HP SimplePass.  The two sets of program are NOT compatible.  There is no program of conversion of encryption between the two programs.
    • When you switch to the supported HP SimplePass version, you must create a new database of your Web sites / passwords.   This means you must create all new connections to fingerprints.
    • The new export file "webcard" is called the vault to series 8 HP SimplePass program.  The suffix of the file is ".opi".  The export process is similar to the old SimplePass program; you export your vault entries from within the SimplePass program to the file .opi.  The file is encrypted - keep - the in a safe place.

    I can't adjust brightness Display
    I can't use the multimedia shortcut
    I can't turn the volume

    Thank you

    Hello

    Have you installed the upgrade wizard to win 8?
    The upgrade wizard to win 8 allows you to get all the drivers Win 8.

    In General, the FN buttons are controlled by VAP (value added package)

    > I can't switch Bluetooth Wi - Fi, but only switch to airplane mode
    Air airplane mode disables the BT and WLan as well, that's how it works in Win 8

Initially, the entire mouse pad not working, I couldn't even move the mouse on the screen.

    You need to uninstall the driver for the touchpad (MOMENTUM or Synaptics)
    After that, restart the laptop...

    You can also try to update the driver in Device Manager... but the unit must be connected to the internet...

  • X 240, fingerprint reader not working after sleep or lockscreen

    Hi all

    I have a new X 240, and the fingerprint logon no longer works when the computer comes out of standby or a lockscreen (screen saver). I checked other solutions here and on other sites, namely:

    1 uncheck the option of the power of the drive in the Device Manager, fp

    2 and waiting for 30 days of switching within the parameters of Lenovo

    None of these solutions have worked. I have the latest version of BIOS and FP driver. I did ensure that the public Service has been enabled in the BIOS, and I even changed the settings to only allow internal reader to FP. Yet, the public Service will work when I first power on the laptop, but not after the stand-by recovery. I checked in Device Manager after you manually enter the password, and it is said that the PC is up and running.

    I am at a loss, and I want to exhaust all possibilities before calling tech support. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Fixed.

    I usually use system update to check for new versions of software from Lenovo. Don't take SU that he had a new version of the reader of the public Service. Just to be sure, I checked on the Lenovo Web site and now there is a newer version of the player FP. I had to download and manually uninstall the previous version. He is fine now. However, I do not understand why Lenovo-why doesn't SU hang updates? It is not the first time this happens, moreover, neither is it limited to this laptop (I own or have owned a T60, X 61, X 200, X 201, X 230, T410 and now the X 240).

    In any case, the public Service works correctly now. I hope this helps someone else.
