Windows Hello (select products only)
On products equipped with a fingerprint reader or an infrared camera, you can use Windows Hello to sign in by
swiping your finger or looking at the camera.
To set up Windows Hello:

Select the Start button, select Settings, select Accounts, and then select Sign-in options.
2.
To add a password, select Add.

Select Get Started, and then follow the on-screen instructions enroll your fingerprint or facial ID and set

To prevent fingerprint logon issues, make sure when you register your fingerprint that all
sides of your finger are registered by the fingerprint reader.

The PIN is not limited in length. The default setting is for numbers only. To include alphabetic or
special characters, select the include letters and symbols check box.
Using antivirus software
When you use the computer to access e-mail, a network, or the Internet, you potentially expose it to
computer viruses. Computer viruses can disable the operating system, programs, or utilities, or cause them to
function abnormally.
Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and, in most cases, repair any damage they have
caused. To provide ongoing protection against newly discovered viruses, antivirus software must be kept up
to date.
Windows Defender is preinstalled on your computer. It is strongly recommended that you continue to use an
antivirus program in order to fully protect your computer.
For more information about computer viruses, access the HP Support Assistant.
Using firewall software
Firewalls are designed to prevent unauthorized access to a system or network. A firewall can be a software
program you install on your computer and/or network, or it can be a solution made up of both hardware and
software.
There are two types of firewalls to consider:
●
Host-based firewalls—Software that protects only the computer it is installed on.
●
Network-based firewalls—Installed between your DSL or cable modem and your home network to
protect all the computers on the network.
When a firewall is installed on a system, all data sent to and from the system is monitored and compared with
a set of user-defined security criteria. Any data that does not meet those criteria is blocked.
