Detailed description:
When I go to Settings ->Set up Fingerprint sign-in, it now says: 'This option is currently unavailable - click to learn more'.
This is the same for the face recognition or the pincode option.

Hello Yakumo,
Please make sure that your Windows update has been completed and your Windows account has been fully set up as well.
You may try to set up PIN first.
May I know if you install your own OS ?
Thank you.

Hello
All updates are done.
Just started up the new laptop with original asus win10.
I could activate the pin code and fingerprint when installing windows.
Now we want to add a new fingerprint and this is what i see
Set up Fingerprint sign-in, it now says: 'This option is currently unavailable
Also change pin and face recognition is currently unavailable.
Where can i see if my windows account is complete?

Hello Yakumo,
Did you set up password for your Windows account?
May you screenshot the Setting> log in options for me?
