Hi gussic,

Can you do the following for me, it'll let us know if your Windows Hello key are in the software provider or the TPM provider:

  1. Click start and search for Powershell, open it
  2. Enter the following command: certutil -csp "Microsoft Passport Key Storage Provider" -key -v | Select-String -Pattern "NgcKeyImplType"
