Will Windows 10 natively support fingerprint readers for doing more than just logging in? I have a fingerprint reader that is recognized by the OS, but the software that came with the reader fails to recognize the reader. Since Windows recognizes it, I am able to log in with the fingerprint reader just fine. I do miss being able to log into certain applications by fingerprint, and so am wondering if this functionality will eventually be supported. I suspect I won't be getting any updated software from Dell, so this is probably the only hope for this. Hi Danwdoo, Thank you for your interest in using Windows 10 Technical Preview.

The software (DigitalPersona) worked fine after I upgraded an 8.1 machine to 10, just not on a fresh 10 installation. It installs and runs correctly, it just doesn't see that the fingerprint reader is installed, though Windows itself recognizes the reader just fine. In my post I was as much suggesting that more biometric features be added to Windows because of situations like mine as much as trying to get this working now.

It may be a future windows driver/update will help, and I know the compatibility wizard is not generally recommended for security software.
