Windows Hello not working


in Device Manager find USB Root Hub, advanced properties, and UNCHECK "allow Windows to turn this device off to save power"
Found this after I noticed that unplugging and re-connecting the USB webcam would make Windows Hello work again.

I hope I'm wrong but I think Amazon is watching me. Using Edge Canary I started reading this thread and a Ad for a USB fingerprint reader popped up on my Echo box. Is there something I can turn off or was it just a coincidences?
