I had a laptop a while back with a fingerprint scanner that would work for one day, then stop working completely. I reinstalled the drivers, and it would work for a day and then stop again. I eventually gave up using the fingerprint scanner until I "upgraded" the laptop to Windows 11, and it worked again. No idea if it still works, since I rarely use that laptop now
