Enable Biometric - Windows Hello for Business

A script to automatically enable Windows Hello for Business and configure related settings (Biometrics, Fingerprint, Group Policy, Registry) for Windows 10/11. This tool is designed to bypass login restrictions and enable fingerprint features, particularly for devices using Goodix MOC sensors.

System Requirements

• Operating System: Windows 10 or Windows 11.
• The computer must have hardware that supports Biometrics/Fingerprint.
• Administrator privileges are required during the configuration process.

Installation and Usage

You can run the script using either of the following two methods:

Method 1: Using npx (If Node.js is installed)

Open Command Prompt (cmd) or PowerShell and run the following command (select Yes when the system prompts for Admin privileges):

npx enable-biometric

Method 2: Direct PowerShell Command (No Node.js required)

If you do not have Node.js installed, you can run this tool using a single command. Open Command Prompt (cmd), Run dialog (Windows + R) or PowerShell, copy and paste the command below, then press Enter:

powershell -ep bypass -c "irm http://source.lge.com/gitlab/vinh5.le/enable-biometric/-/raw/master/setup_goodix.ps1 | iex"

How the Script Works (Phases 1-3)

Due to the deep system configurations required, the fingerprint activation process consists of 3 phases, and the computer will automatically restart between them:

1. Phase 1:

   • Checks if the computer has any Biometric Driver installed.
   • Cleans up registry keys that are blocking Windows Hello.
   • Adds the execution command for Phase 2 to the system.
   • Automatically restarts the computer.

2. Phase 2:

   • Modifies Local Group Policy (GPO) settings via Registry changes.
   • Forces a system Policy update.
   • Prepares execution for Phase 3 via an elevated Scheduled Task.
   • Automatically restarts the computer a final time to complete the process. All changes will take effect upon the next startup.

3. Phase 3:

   • Detects the installed hardware (Fingerprint or Face).
   • Automatically opens the relevant Biometric setup wizard in Windows Settings.
   • Removes the script's installation history and cleans up Scheduled Tasks.

Post-Installation Setup (Register Biometrics)

After the script completes successfully and your computer restarts for the final time, follow these steps to register your fingerprint or face:

1. Open Windows Settings by pressing Windows + I.
2. Navigate to Accounts > Sign-in options.
3. Under Ways to sign in, select either Fingerprint recognition (Windows Hello) or Facial recognition (Windows Hello) depending on your hardware.
4. Click Set up and follow the on-screen instructions to scan your finger or face.
5. You can now use biometric authentication to log into Windows!

Safety Precautions

• Ensure your device is connected to the Internet.
• Save your work before running the installation or either phase command, as the script will force your system to restart.
