Windows 11 Facial recognition "Windows Hello
July 22, 2021 Los Angeles Hello, Today I got an update installed on Win 11. Facial Recognition "Windows Hello" stopped working suddenly. It says in the error statement that it is Unavailable. ...
- The Facial Recognition works but the settings option still auto-close/crash the setting whenever I click on Settings/Accounts/SignInOptions/FacialRecognition. Not an issue currently but could be on the new setup,etc. Any idea how to fix that?
- Did you install latest build 22000.120? It notes resolving this issue. After updating the settings no longer crashes. Tkx
- thank you. Worked for me too.
- I did that, a few times already, still not working.
The only difference now is when I go to Facial Recognition settings it doesn't say it's unavailable, but still crashes if I click on it.- Check and see if your window updates are "up to date"- the same night I got the fix-
Microsoft posted an update for this issue -- Yup, updates are 100% to date too.
- Also worked for me. Thanks!

Thanks erikiters, confirmed that it worked for me.
- Same on Surface Studio. Booted up this morning and was able to log on with face, but I came back later and get errors with face and fingerprint.
