    Hi,

    Since I got back my laptop from service (which factory reset the harddrive), the fingerprint reader is always on in standby mode.

    How can I turn this "feature" off?

    Thanks,
    divB

    PS: It also seems that a different (new?) driver for the fingerprint reader is used than I had before - at least according to the icon

    Hi,

    think I got it. Wasn't logged in as admin.

    In case of admin, there is this configuration icon where you can enable/disable using the fingerpring reader for power on.
