Windows Hello Face and Fingerprint Unavailable

I recently bought a Lenovo Yoga, but when I try to set it up Windows Hello Face and Fingerprint, it says "This option is currently unavailable",Below, it says "We couldn’t find a fingerprint scanner compatible with Windows Hello Fingerprint ".

I've troubleshooted my device, and I have the latest Windows updates. I don't think it has any virus or bug because i recently just bought it.

Thanks for any help I get!

Hi, good day! I'm Nals and I'll be happy to assist you today.

Can you confirm the exact model of your Lenovo Yoga? Type "msinfo" in the search box on your taskbar and select "System Information" from the search results. Provide the screenshot

Note: IR webcam capability as it is required for Windows 11 Hello Facial Recognition.

Regards,
Nals
