I'm working on getting all the drivers installed on my new Sager NP9758-S, and haven't figured out how to use the fingerprint sensor integrated on the trackpad. The trackpad driver has been installed, but I'm not seeing where to enable or access this functionality. 

 

I am currently working on installing most of the other drivers, I've just gotten Windows 10 Pro loaded up and have yet to do much else. 

 

I've also used the MSX search feature to try to find biometric authentication abilities, which takes me to the Settings app, with no option for biometric authentication factors (search "bio" in the Start menu, and it gives me the option "Set up fingerprint sign-in" then takes me to the window with no fingerprint options)


As always, thanks in advance guys. Hope someone here knows where to find this setting.

 

 

EDIT: It appears, after some investigation, that Windows Hello must be found within the Settings>Account app. For some reason, the fingerprint reader does not seem to be recognized by Windows, which I find odd. Windows Hello apparently does not even present itself unless a fingerprint reader or special camera is detected. Hoping I can find a fix to this.. :3

 

EDIT2: The fingerprint reader is recognized in Device Manager. EgisTec ES603. More research to come, as well as technical support on both XoticPC and Sager's ends.
