Laptop Studio 2 Windows Hello PIN Subsystem Smartcard Error

Authentication via Windows Hello PIN is not working.

The error message says: ‘An error has occurred in the Smartcard subsystem.’ However, I am not using a Smartcard and do not wish to use one. I checked the Device Manager to see if there was a driver for the Smartcard that I could uninstall, but there isn’t one. After looking at the services and stopping the ‘SmartCard’ service, the option for the PIN in User Account Control is no longer displayed.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Cheers

Ben
