        Welcome, it really depends, in some cases drivers is not compatible and prevent Windows installation and Windows will uninstall it. Sometimes driver is there but it is not working. In any case, because it is insider and is under testing and evaluations such issue are expected and when you file a report Windows team would be able to investigate and fix it.

      Reza_Ameri My biometric device is also not shown in the device manager and it is showing that "there is no fingerprint scanner compatible" in the sign-in options. I checked for updates but there are none. This problem is after I updated to windows 11.
