Microsoft® Fingerprint Reader drivers for Windows 10

I have a fingerprient reader, the only made by Microsoft, and I cannot use it to log in on Windows Hello (I didn’t use it even on Windows 7). Is there anyone who can tell me what to do?

I thougt, a good plan is to sent an email to Microsoft developers, but I don’t know any address 🙁

Hello Mr. Kishore,

My computer is custom made (by myself) and this problem, I have it from the release of Windows7 (I was insider in that program, too). I really didn’t care at that moment, because Windows 7 does not have «Windows Hello».

On MIcrosoft Drivers page, this fingerprint have drivers only for Windows XP and Windows Vista (32bit versions).

Today, when I will go back home from work, I will try your methods, and see if it works.

Thank you in advance for your support.

First of all, thank you for helping me.

My fingerprint is produced by Microsoft, and at it’s time, was manufactured for Windows XP/Vista 32bit versions.

When I bought it, Windows 7 was released for insiders and it didn’t worked, but I didn’t care so much, because I didn’t had «Windows Hello» (didn’t exist at that moment). I know this fingerprint is the only one, produced by Microsoft and it have drivers for XP/Vista 32bit versions on Microsoft website (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/fingerprint-reader).

I am very sure, many users will appreciate if someone will update this section, with 64bit drivers, including WIndows7 and 10 versions

How to Update Fingerprint Reader Device Drivers Quickly & Easily

Step 1 — Download Your Driver

To get the Fingerprint Reader driver, click the green download button above. After you complete your download, move on to Step 2.

If the driver listed is not the right version or operating system, search our driver archive for the correct version. Enter Fingerprint Reader into the search box above and then submit. In the results, choose the best match for your PC and operating system.

Tech Tip: If you are having trouble deciding which is the right driver, try the Driver Update Utility for Fingerprint Reader. It is a software utility which automatically finds and downloads the right driver.

Step 2 — Install Your Driver

Once you have downloaded your new driver, you’ll need to install it. In Windows, use a built-in utility called Device Manager, which allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them.

How to Open Device Manager

In Windows 10 & Windows 8.1, right-click the Start menu and select Device Manager

In Windows 8, swipe up from the bottom, or right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose «All Apps» -> swipe or scroll right and choose «Control Panel» (under Windows System section) -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager

In Windows 7, click Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager

In Windows Vista, click Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Device Manager

In Windows XP, click Start -> Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager button

How to Install a driver from Device Manager

Locate the device and model that is having the issue and double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

Select the Driver tab.

Click the Update Driver button and follow the instructions.

In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.

Tech Tip: Driver downloads and updates come in a variety of file formats with different file extensions. For example, you may have downloaded an EXE, INF, ZIP, or SYS file. Each file type has a slighty different installation procedure to follow.

For more help, visit our Driver Support Page for step-by-step videos on how to install drivers for every file type.
