Fingerprint logon enabling
« on: November 10, 2018, 03:14:05 AM »
I am using HP Pavilion laptop. I downloaded Avast software. When I was trying to clean the space and speed the running process up. Avast advised to disable the finger print logon. I accepted and it was disabled. Now I want to enable it back. I don't know how to do it. I would appreciate if you any could advise me. Thank you in advance.

Check in Task manager/Start-up, should be an option in there to start hopefully :-\

Thanks Craig for replying. Already tried before asking assistance in this forum. I rescanned my fingerprints. Still unable to logon with fingerprint.

Hmmm, there's no such function in Avast Free, afaik - but wait for one of the free users.

I qualify as a free user but have never encountered that function.

It certainly isn't a function/setting in Avast free

I would imagine it is part of the HP Pavilion settings - a search for
HP Pavilion laptop finger print logon returned many hits a couple of those were video clips.

https://www.google.com/search?q=HP+Pavilion+laptop+finger+print+logon

Try one of those hits and see if it helps.
