Fingerprint scanner requirements

Hello all. I recently aquired an Acer Spin 5 Laptop convertible. After a few failed attempts at preserving the settings required for my fingerprint scanner to function properly, I decided to come here. I'm still fairly new at using NTLite so please go easy on me if it's a simple fix. If anyone knows what all is required please let me know.

Thanks.

good stuff skschatzman :) . how much work are you willing to put in for this machine? the whole hog, tweaked and lited to hell and back or just some tweaking? not being on the internet will help a lot - disabled services, disable search defender firewall etc. scheduled tasks - i have added my barebone scheduled tasks file for 8.1 for you to look at to start disabling your own, i have set it to .txt to make it safe.

go to my Interesting Stuff link, look for Absolutely essential tools i cant live without. look for Power Run, AutoRuns, RegFromApp.
also look for the Windows 10 Lite for ARM64 - the OP on that thread had a low power machine with limited ram(not upgradable).
 
Clanger Thanks. I'll check it out. I have been following Fr33thy and his settings for a while. The next step is trial and error with services. My gaming rig is down to like 45 processes with 0% utilization. Very low latency and fast response time.o_O

I wanted to disable/remove as much as possible to make it snappy. The built-in thumbprint reader is all the security I will need.

Now make a 'Source' backup and keep removing some more, tip: rename the preset something like 01 ok or 01 2009 ok - 02 2009 bad - 02 2009 ok and so on to go deeper, on every stage that wworks make a source backup.
 
Anyone know why the built in administrator account is denied access from using the fingerprint scanner?
When I set up unattended to not create a local profile. I set it to enable the built in administrator. Creating a basic local user profile will have access and no issues. This happens on pre-installed and NTlite stripped systems. Windows 10 Pro 20H2 v2
:oops:???

Just a (maybe a wild) guess: Built in administrator account is used for ie. audit sysprep scenarios /copyprofile, which is locked to the default user profile created when make a new user. So a new user account should have the opportunity to make their own login credentials not inheritated from administrator locked fingerprints!?! Or just short - It's Windows by design from sysprep /generalize option.
 
Administrator does not have the highest priviledges, there are still things that need "elevated permissions" soyou have to use 3rd party tools like Power Run. if you sysprep to capture the Administrator account isnt captured(when using gimagex), a new one will be created during deployment. thats all i know.

Never had to use 3. party tools to sysprep /copyprofile and the build in administrator captures the image just the way it's meant to be. Give up GimageX long time ago after know how to use DISM to capture a generalized image.
 
francis11 if i remember this correctly, according to abbodi86 imagex sets the edition flag, dism doesnt. i have never had a problem with (g)imagex. i use sysprep to sysprep, dont need 3rd party tools for that bit, just gimagex for capture.
 
I'm not too worried about it anymore. I just have unattended create a new administrator account. Everything works that way. I just chalk it up to Windows being stupid.
 
Clanger thats right, i remember too. I just want to simplify things - and the flag dosen't seem to infect when have one image for install.

i learnt captures with gimagex and i never had a problem so i'll stick with that for 7, 8.1 and ltsc. stick with what you know :)

Clanger is there a way to give the built-in administrator account full privileges without the need of tools like Power Run?

i dont use "take ownership" tweaks anymore because i have seen people have problems on occasion when changing owner priviledges. it might also lead to security problems, with power run im only elevated when i need to be, no problems so far.
