I managed to finally set up my fingerprint sensor on HP Elitebook 8560p with Windows 10 64-bit.
As HP does not provide drivers for Windows 10 for this model (I dont know why that is because it is still a great notebook in 2016), I luckily searched in google and found out that Asus also had the same problem when upgrading to Windows 10.
Asus was also good enough to provide a driver for that. I found it on http://www.asus.com/Commercial-Notebooks/ASUSPRO_ESSENTIAL_PU551JD/HelpDesk_Download/ and the description of the driver is as follows:
Synaptics Fingerprint Driver (For Windows 10 Upgrade)
To avoid Windows login with fingerprints failing due to compatibility issue after upgrade to Windows 10, please un-install ” Fingerprint Driver” and “ASUS Fingerprint driver and utility”. And, update “Synaptics Fingerprint driver” to 4.5.306.0 or above. Then, you can login Windows 10 with new feature “Windows Hello” by fingerprints.
I installed the driver and manually select it for the device in Device Manage (Like forcing windows to use it because they didn’t recommend it).
Here is a fast image tutorial.
1. Install driver
2. Go to Device manager and manually select from the list
3. Check device installation
4. Go to Windows Hello to set up fingerprints.
Hope it helps anyone.
