    The problem you are experiencing is not clear, if you want to setup Windows Hello as the login option on your account, open the Settings App, then go to Accounts - Sign-In Options.

    Please provide a screenshot of that window.

    2

    Open the Settings App.

    Go to Accounts.

    Select Access Work or School, is there is a work or school Email listed there?

    To unlock a Windows 11 laptop using Windows Hello, Windows Hello must be set up first, then used on the lock screen.

    Steps to set up Windows Hello:

    1. Open Settings on the PC.
    2. Select Accounts > Sign-in options or use this shortcut: Sign-in options.
    3. Under Ways to sign in, choose one of:
      • Facial recognition (Windows Hello) – requires a Windows Hello–compatible infrared camera.
      • Fingerprint recognition (Windows Hello) – requires a fingerprint reader.
      • PIN (Windows Hello) – works on any device and is required as a fallback.
    4. Select the method (for example, Facial recognition (Windows Hello), Fingerprint recognition (Windows Hello), or PIN (Windows Hello)), then select Set up.
    5. Follow the on-screen instructions to enroll the face, fingerprint, or create a PIN.

    How to unlock the screen with Windows Hello:

    1. Put the PC to sleep or lock it (for example, press Windows key + L).
    2. On the lock screen, wake the device (press a key, click the mouse, or open the lid).
    3. Use the configured Windows Hello method:
      • Look at the camera if Facial recognition is set up.
      • Touch the fingerprint reader if Fingerprint recognition is set up.
      • Enter the Windows Hello PIN if using a PIN.

    Once configured, Windows Hello provides a faster and more secure way to unlock the Windows 11 laptop without typing the account password each time.
