Hi,
Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.
I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the computer. I understand the frustration when things don't work the way it should.
- I have tested this on a Lenovo Yoga 260 laptop and a Lenovo M93P desktop (with attached external fingerprint reader). After installing Windows 10 Enterprise (whether via an in place upgrade or fresh install), the PIN and Fingerprint Sign-in options are unavailable as the buttons are disabled/greyed out.
- Over the past week, two readers have asked us to publish a solution to greyed out fingerprint setup button in Settings Accounts Sign in options section. If you’re also looking to setup fingerprint on your Windows 10 PC but the setup button is greyed out, please read on to know the solution.

Please try the below step to fix .

Type the following in the Powershell prompt:

- Wait for PowerShell to execute and complete the command. Ignore the few errors (in red color) that may pop up.
- When it finishes, try hitting Start and hopefully it’ll start working.

Hope this information is helpful. Please post in case you have any further issues with the computer. I will be glad to help you further.
Thank you.
I had this problem too and tried this and many fixes I found online. Nothing worked. Eventually, I found that I had missing .dll files and I have no idea how they went missing since I never deleted anything especially in the system 32 file. I had to do a reinstall of Windows 10. It takes a while, but if you choose to keep all files it will fix stuff and everything will be back.

I tried the Windows repair, but when you get to the window that asks for what type of keyboard you have there was no way to choose, because my keyboard and mouse didn't work.(dumbest thing ever)
The only thing I can think of that might have caused my issues was I went into add/remove windows programs and unchecked Internet Explorer. Since I use Chrome and we get Edge I didn't think I needed that turned on as well. I wondered if it took out some files that it used and other apps needed. I turned it back on, but that didn't help. I really don't know if this was why I got missing .dll files or not, it's just the only thing I could think of.
