Intel has just updated their RealSense camera drivers to improve the Windows Hello feature which allows users to log into their Windows 10 computer using just their face, assuming that their computer has a new RealSense camera built in.
The driver updates fix several issues experienced by users such as delays when waking a device from Sleep or Hibernate and system crashes while using Windows Hello. The update also improves camera functionality when being used in outdoor environments.
While currently limited to the few devices with compatible cameras, Windows Hello has still been getting a lot of press. It was a main focus of the Windows 10 promotional campaign and a recent story about a pair of identical twins who couldn’t fool the login method got a lot of buzz online.
For more on Windows Hello, make sure to check out this video demonstration and let us know in the comments if you use Windows Hello or prefer to stick with the good ol’ password or newish finger swipe login methods.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
