Wake Acer Laptop from Sleep Mode with fingerprint sensor
When I got my Acer Aspire A517-52 in October, I was impressed by being able to wake it up directly, by scanning the fingerprint sensor. Somewhere along the line, I've lost this clever little capability and I want it back!
The fingerprint sensor works fine, but it just lacks that bit of magic I had before. Now I have to hit the power button and THEN swipe the snsor to log in. Not the end of the world, I know, but it sure was nice to swipe that sensor and watch the Acer come to life. Can anyone help? |

There are reports on the ACER Site, and Windows 10 Support, about this happening after Windows did it's monthly updates.

Many thanks, Ensign Tzap
Your suggestion worked as advertised, but didn't address my issue. The Fingerprint reader has worked properly all along. What it WON'T do anymore is bypass the power button and wake the sleeping laptop from scratch. This small step-saver was working when I first got the Acer, but now it's gone back to Power button>fingerprint reader for wake up. |

Also,
Check in BIO's CMO's Settings for "Wake up from" Keyboard, USB port, Lan, Mouse Pad, etc... Signed: Ensign Tzap Last edited by Ensign Tzap; February 15th, 2023 at 04:44 AM. |
