Hello, Can you please check if there is the key 'EnableLUA' in registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System? If it's absent, please try to add it with the value 1 (DWORD).

Best wishes, Sasha

Hi, that's weird, when i add this key, the key will be deleted after next reboot again:

1. after adding the key
2. after reboot However, before rebooting (while the key was present), the issue was fixed, i.e. WinHello plugin was working again.

Btw, in the meanwhile, I upgraded a second device (a Lenovo notebook) to Win 11 and there the WinHello plugin is working without any issues.

thanks for your help!

@phlox, thank you for the update. We'll mitigate the absence of this flag in next release.
