Hi, occasionally my laptop will start up and i will place my finger on the fingerprint reader (power button) and nothing happens, it doesn't even incorrect finger etc.

It's definitely clean though.
If I then restart the laptop again, it's always then fine and works that time.
Does this just sometimes happen?

The driver for this seems very old, but there doesn't seem to be any newer ones. Dated 2019.

James
