ESS issues

Hello,

I need some help with ESS. When I first got my laptop. Then I enabled VBS but based on the logs in event viewer it still worked. There were logs the windows biometric service started its secure components successfully. Then after some time I saw the following log:

The Windows Biometric Service failed to start its secure component.

Reason for unavailability: 64.

The operation failed with error: 0x80070032.

On 3th of december last year this log appears:

Reason for unavailability: 256.

The operation failed with error: 0x80070032.

After that also these two errors appeared:

1:

The Windows Biometric Service could not determine the identity of the sample from sensor: FPC Fingerprint Reader (USB\VID_10A5&PID_9544\5&1423ACB5&0&9).

2:

The Windows Biometric Credential Manager failed to remove a credential.

The operation failed with error: 0x80098031.

After these two errors (based on the logs) the ESS is not working - sensor is isolated in "local system".

What can I do about it.

Note: First I thought VBS was the issue but ESS (based on the logs) stopped working later. (I think VBS is not the issue).  Thank you for your help.

Could you please let me know the full model of your laptop? 
Which specific function are you trying to use that is causing this error and making it unusable?

Sorry for any inconvenience it may be caused. 

Hello,

I have an Asus expertbook b5404cma. I'm trying to use ESS (enhanced sign in security).  This feature worked until one day the errors mentioned above started appearing. Since then the function is unavailable.

What can I do?
