Face-recognition not working after Windows 10 update 1709

Anonymous

After receiving the Windows upate 1709 (KB4041994) the Face Recognition doesn't allow my Surface Pro 4 to get into Windows. It recognizes me but stays on the login spash screen. I have to switch to a different login option to actually get into Windows.

Moved from: Surface / Surface Pro 4 / Sound and camera

I have the same problem as many of you. I had to use my PIN number during initially logon because Face-recognition (hello) wasn't working. Face-recognition would worked when my computer would go to sleep/hibernate but not if I shut down and re-boot. I spent the better part of a day reloading drivers and trying all kinds of other things people were suggestion online. Today I checked out another thread of questioning on this website titled "Windows 10 Creator Update must login twice" not thinking that was my problem at all but read the thread anyway. The Microsoft rep replied to the login twice question with a suggestion and OMG when I tried it fixed my problem. Since it sounds like a number of you might have the same problem as I was experiencing I thought I would pass this tip on... maybe it will fix your problem too.

Below is the tip from the Microsoft Rep.

Hi,

If you're having trouble with logging in on your PC twice, then you can try the following steps to remove double login:

Go to Settings, then select Account.
On the left panel, select Sign-in options.
Under Privacy or Confidentiality section, turn off Use my sign in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart.

After doing so, reboot your PC and see if the same issue will occur.

Get back to us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance

I have had the same issue with a Dell Inspiron 5578 2 in 1. It's an extremely frustrating issue as I have only had the laptop for a couple of months, and when spending such a large amount of money on a product you expect all its features to work.

Can a timescale be put on this as to when a patch will be released for this?

I'm also experiencing exactly the same issue (HP Spectre x360 - was working perfectly fine before the Fall update). It's very annoying. Do you know when the patch to fix this will be released?
