    Hey guys,

    I recently restored my m1530 to factory settings, and now I'm encountering this problem. Everytime the Windows Login screen starts, I used to simply swipe my finger over the fingerprint reader and the system smoothly logs in.

    However, now when I swipe my finger, it recognizes it and says "Successful," but does not Log me into Windows right away. I have to reswipe my finger around 3-4 times and wait a while before I get logged in. I usually end up manually inputting my password instead.

    Is there any setting I can change to fix this? I used to be able to simply swipe once and the whole process was smoother and faster than manually typing in my password.

    Help would be appreciated...Thanks!
