Only certain cameras support Windows Hello facial recognition, and you have to set up the feature for it to scan and recognize your face.
On the plus side, if you're able to set up facial recognition, you can use it for more than just signing in to Windows 10.
For laptops and other computers with built-in Windows Hello cameras, Microsoft's Windows 10 Computers page provides a list of compatible PCs. The best place to check to see if your current camera is supported is the same spot you go to set up the facial recognition.
Enter your PIN, which is required before you can set up any other type of Windows Hello authentication.
If the facial recognition is not working, or your facial appearance changes in any way, go back to the Windows Hello Face option in Settings.
