Hi xiaoyun1,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Community.

For installing drivers on our Surface devices, you may use the msi package for your Surface device. Please follow these steps below:

Check what is the current OS Build of your Windows version by going to Settings > System > About.

Go to Download driver and firmware for Surface, choose your Surface device model then click Download on the next page.

Choose the .msi file that matches your current OS Build and click Next.

After downloading, run and install the .msi then Restart.

If the issue you experience still persists after the steps above, please use Troubleshoot problems with Windows Hello on Surface to help resolve the problem.

For help with installing drivers on devices other than Surface, please contact your device manufacturer.

May I know what is this issue that you are having with Windows Hello?

When you go to Windows Settings > Accounts> Sign in options > Windows Hello Face, are you getting an error message? If yes, please share the error message you are getting.

If this helps, we highly encourage you to inform our Community by clicking on Yes or marking my post as an answer. This will help other members who may have the same issue as you. Otherwise, don't hesitate to update us so we can further assist you.

Kind Regards,

Marrion Y.

    Hi, 

    Where did you buy this Surface device from? - It is possible that if you bought it used or from a (untrusted) third party retailer, the device could've been tampered with and someone could have removed some of the hardware needed for facial recognition.

    I just finished reading the whole thread and have created an account for the very purpose of helping those of you who have yet to figure this out, and my solution seems too simple to be overlooked by so many people and technicians, but I will explain my circumstances first. I am running a (school issued) HP ProBook x360 440 G1 PC with windows ten education installed. The school provides domain accounts for each student, along with the built-in local administrator account.  After a few months of using the domain account, by which time I had tweaked all available settings to my preferences (among them Hello Face), I made the switch to the admin, and unjoined from the domain. I was ***stupidly*** unaware at the time that that would prevent me from logging into the domain account until I was able to reconnect to the domain network and rejoin, which will not be possible for a long while because of online learning, and so hello face started acting very strange. Because it was enabled on the domain account but not on the admin, when domain became unavailable, whenever I tried to use hello face on the admin lock screen, it would give me the reassuring wink, but it would never actually log me in without the password. After a few days with no luck fixing it, I uninstalled the face biometric device in device manager, and the whole thing crapped out and I was left with the problem on this thread, but since face was still enabled on the domain account, whenever I logged in, it would display the same warning as it does for everybody else in sign in options, but also on the lock screen, which got annoying very fast. I cant reset the pc, as I have no backups, nor devices to create backups on, nor funds to purchase storage devices, or any restore points, and I don't really want to have to reinstall all my programs, so I was stuck with that error message for a few months, until I finally fixed it today. All I did was go to settings > apps > apps and features > optional features and uninstall the windows hello face feature, and reinstall it (actually I tried just uninstalling it a couple days ago in an attempt to stop the warning, and just came back to the optional features section again today and reinstalled it to see if it would fix anything). but now I am back where I started, with the face winking, and not letting me in. So sad, but I am trying to reinstall the driver for the biometric device, but I have no idea where to find the official latest driver version online, so if anyone knows, please tell me.
