MS Surface Pro, 11th ed. Has had Windows Hello (fingerprint, facial, and PIN) working ever since the device was purchased.

 

About a week ago, those stopped working, and now see this:

 

 

 

 

I see some Windows updates were done on 9th Feb - perhaps it was that. However, unsure how to roll back the update?

 

Or should I look at something else?

Check in device manager if those devices are working properly. You can also roll back drivers from here, or do a driver reinstall if the roll back doesn't work.

If the above doesn't work, I've had this before and it was an unusual problem.  I think this was the solution IIRC, making sure to enable them again once the option was back.
