To my knowledge, the problem primarily affects Lenovo users, as Lenovo won't provide updated Synaptics drivers. The original problem was discussed in here: This post is because I'll probably forget after reinstalling Windows and it'll drive me further insane in case it is your white whale too. This godforsaken fingerprint reader, presumably identical hardware to that working perfectly in plenty laptops, was my white whale. I'm posting here, because others out there may be afflicted with the same tormented thoughts and nightmares that I've had.

So I had an issue with the Synaptics WBDI fingprint scanner/reader in my Lenovo Yoga 720-13IKB (80X6). TL DR: longstanding fingerprint scanner problem, fixed by reseating ribbon cable, and installing latest driver from MS update catalog ( )
