Title: Windows Hello Face Unlock No Longer Works in the Dark and Microsoft
Says It's Not a Bug

Link: https://it.slashdot.org/story/25/06/16/186239...

Microsoft has disabled Windows Hello's ability to authenticate users in low-
light environments through a recent security update that now requires both
infrared sensors and color cameras to verify faces. The change forces the
system to see a visible face through the webcam before completing
authentication with IR sensors. Windows Hello earlier relied solely on
infrared sensors to create 3D facial scans, allowing the feature to work in
complete darkness similar to iPhone's Face ID. Microsoft pushed the dual-
camera requirement to address a spoofing vulnerability in the biometric
system.
