I have an error that is showing me the security in Pending to set up, and in the part of set up the Face Sign in, it is showing me that as Unavailable, I'm concerned about it, because I got my new laptop yesterday and it was working fine, but today it is not working, and I already install the Windows updates. How could I fix that?User's image

    Thanks, John.

    Click Start, type "Services," and select it from the results.

    In the Services window, right-click "Windows Biometrics Service" and choose "Stop."

    Open File Explorer and navigate to: C:\Windows\System32\WinBioDatabase.

    Delete all .DAT files in the folder. If no files are visible, go to the "View" tab in File Explorer and enable "Hidden Items."

    After deleting the .DAT files, attempt to set up Windows Hello Face again.

    Hope that helps, and rely on us for any further inquiries. All the best.
