About this tag
Windows Hello Face Unlock is a biometric authentication feature that allows users to log into Windows devices by simply looking at the screen. Recent discussions on WindowsForum highlight a significant change: Microsoft has deliberately disabled Face Unlock in complete darkness as a security update, not a bug. This policy shift affects users of Surface Laptops, Dell XPS, and other modern PCs who previously relied on the feature regardless of ambient light.
