Work wanted to implement Windows Hello. We got cameras, and it seems like a good idea.
First problem: during setup, it tells me I need to install Microsoft Authenticator, and leads me to the Microsoft App Store. Authenticator is only available for smartphones, and this is a laptop. Y’all couldn’t tell that?
Second problem: I click Logout, and Windows Hello logs me right back in. So, no-one during product testing considered that I might need to log out so I could log in as someone else?
Ah – my mistake was assuming Microsoft does product testing. They don’t need to test; they have 100 million users who will test for them, for free. Of course the hidden cost is that their idiocy is on full display with this scheme.
Back to Windows Hello: instead of logging out, you choose Switch User. Okay, do that. See some software on the box I don’t need. Try to un-install it.
“There are other users logged on to this computer. To properly uninstall this program, switch to and log off each user before you continue.”
Thank you for telling me to perform an impossible operation (logging off) when Windows Hello is installed.
Idiots.
