Unknown error with WinBioEnrollCommit function in windows biometric framework

Trần Ngọc Hiển 0

I am using the Windows Biometric Framework API and have encountered an error.I followed the onInstall() and onAdd() functions in tutorial #1, and then called the onEnrollOrPractice() function in tutorial #2.

However, the WinBioEnrollBegin function returned error code 0x800106be, which I couldn't find documented on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secbiomet/client-error-codes or anywhere else on the internet.

I need help finding the cause and a fix for the error. Thank you.

0x800106ba seems to be the error that Windows Defender is experiencing.

I suggest you could refer to the thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/attempt-to-open-windows-defender-gives-me-error/dc643276-d166-4451-92a1-532c9a52e2f1

I suggest you could check if the Windows Defender service is enabled and register related DLL files.

And could you please provide detailed error information?

Thank you for your quick response.

The error I got was 0x800106be, not 0x800106ba.

I think my computer has enough dll files: EngineAdapter.dll, sensoradapter.dll, storageadapter.dll.

I used the onInstall() function to install the Private Pool database, and the onAdd() function to add sensors to the database.

But when using onEnrollOrPractice() it returns me the above error code.

I'm using a lenovo laptop and it has built-in sensors. Let me know if I'm missing any steps, or if you need any additional information.

Sorry I read this error code wrong. 0x800106be seems an undocumented code.
