Dec 05, 2020 Has your FingerPrint reader stopped responding? They may not be listed under the name you are looking for, and may be included in a software bundle. Refer to each section on how to download and install the FingerPrint reader drivers, also how to enroll or remove your FingerPrint using Windows Hello. The package contains the driver for the Goodix Fingerprint Sensor. Fingerprint sensor driver allows you to scan your fingerprint and authenticate your identity to access the system. Windows 10 is not detecting the fingerprint scanner on my device. So downloaded the fingerprint driver from the Aspire A715-72G product page. However, the download doesn't contain an installer so I don't know what to do. These are all the files: Where do they belong? Running the.cmd file didn't seem to do anything. Once you have uninstalled the fingerprint reader driver, restart your PC and Windows 10 will automatically reinstall a new fingerprint reader driver for you. Having reinstalled the fingerprint reader driver, you now can set up your fingerprint anew. This time it can work well on Windows 10. Solution 3: Update Fingerprint Reader Driver.
