They were acquired by Synaptics, so the new driver will be available under 'Synaptics FP Sensors'. If you are using the HP provided driver it will by default have a driver selected from manufacturere 'Validity Sensors, Inc.'. Next, because the new driver doesn't actually list my sensor as compatible, i had to uncheck 'Show compatible hardware'. On the driver tab i selected 'Update driver' -> 'Browse local dirvers' -> 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'. I went into device manager and opened the properties for the biometric sensor. The first driver does list the newer VFS495 sensor (mine is VFS491), so i figured i'd force it and see if it works, rather than use a slightly older driver (also from Lenovo) not listed as Win10 compatible. There are several versions to chose from here, although NONE from HP.
use an older (but still relatively recent a few months old) driver (from lenovo) which does support my sensor, but isn't certified as Win10 compatible. use the driver (from lenovo) posted by the thread creator which is certified as Win10 compatible, but doesn't officially support my sensor.Ģ. The reason for this was that the posted driver does not actually list the VFS491 as a compatible sensor.ġ. I restarted, but unlike for the other people that wasn't enough in my case. I downloaded and installed the version Lucadebe posted ( Removed link for error in link ). (Note that the installer does seem to dissapear all of a sudden, this is normal i think, it just adds the driver to windows, it won't actually update the device.)
I'm not entirely sure whether Win10 is using the same one as Win7, but in any case, driver update didn't find a newer one which was compatible with the OS fingerprint features.
Windows seems to have installed a driver which is over 2 years old and doesn't even seem compatible with the OS fingerprint API. of course the problem is getting the drivers. On Win7 I didn't use it because it needed the HP tools installed and that was more bloat then i am comfortable with. I upgraded from a Windows 7 install (not factory image) to Windows 10 and decided to try out the new build-in OS sensor support. The driver is working for me on an EliteBook 8570p, though i did have to foce it a bit.
