Feature request: Windows Hello prompts for a fingerprint when the fingerprint reader is unavailable
I'm running Windows 11 on a laptop that is connected to an external monitor. The lid of the laptop remains closed. When Windows Hello activates it defaults to requesting a fingerprint even though the fingerprint reader is inaccessible (again, the lid is closed). If the laptop's lid is closed Windows Hello should default to either a pin or password. I have Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\LidReliablityState set to 1.
