Hi,
We are using Account Protection profile for WH4B and it does not work like that (does not disable biometrics if it is not configured). I will switch WH4B settings from Account Protection in Endpoint Security to Identity Protection in Configuration Profiles and will let you know if I have the same result.
I'm running this simple script to disable biometrics:
$Registry = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Biometrics"
if (!(Test-Path $Registry))
{
New-Item -Path "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Biometrics" -Force
}
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Biometrics" /v Enabled /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
