Activate Windows Hello if it is disabled

Windows Hello is useful if you are the only one using your computer. It uses the camera on your device to recognize your face to get you logged in. However, it requires you to set a PIN as a backup.

At HQ, because we are on a domain, the Windows Hello settings may be disabled when you visit them in the Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options window.

To activate:

1. Open the Windows Registry Editor by typing Regedit in the Start menu search box.
2. Go to the following location: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System
3. When you get to the directory, make a DWORD called AllowDomainPINLogon by right-clicking on the page
4. Put 1 as the value
5. Restart your computer
