Hi,I have to authenticate myself via Windows Hello frequently because I use a password manager that requires it. I have a laptop that is often used with external monitor/keyboard/mouse, and the laptop is closed. The laptop has a fingerprint reader. It is annoying that Windows Hello prompts me for a fingerprint when the laptop is closed. I have to get it to prompt for the PIN and then enter it. Is there a way of getting it to prompt for the PIN automatically when the laptop is closed?Thanks,- bill.
