Hey Brad,
Thank you for posting this thread!

Since Huawei only allows to install drivers through Huawei Device Manager now, I have a problem to install these recommended drivers in given order. Can you please help me to solve this issue?

Cheers,
Lazar

It worked, thank you so much!

Worked great for me! Thanks!!

Worked for me as well – did a fresh install of the latest Win 10 ISO and my fingerprint sensor wouldn’t work regardless of having the latest drivers installed by Huawei’s PC Manager. Went through the list included here one by one and it worked. I did NOT reboot between… Read more »

Yes agree with you about the warranty, don’t think it will be void after reinstalling Windows.
Anyways I decided to try and just bought it, now I have to change the language from Chinese to English, do you mind sharing how you did that?
Thanks,
Dan

Working perfect!
Thanks!

Wow this is a godsend, literally have spent forever trying to find a solution and this worked. Thank you!

Worked perfectly!
Also this approach brought in Hardware Check, which was missing before in Huawei’s PC-Manager after Windows 10 clean install.

I’ve tried this several times. Does not work for me. Sensor was working fine with the default Win 10 Home, but when I wiped it to install Win 10 Pro – gone and I cannot get it to come back :/ The hardware itself is conflicted in device manager. Code… Read more »

I had troubles with the fingerprint as well recently. The guide did work in August 2018, but in December i couldn’t get the fingerprint scanner working again after another clean install.

I had the same problem for my Huawei Matebook D i5. By downloading the same drives in that order also solved the problem for me. I just downloaded the driver for my model at: https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/laptops/matebook-d/ Even though all the drivers were up to date, you still need to download them… Read more »

This is happening to my MateBook D (14 Intel) (VLT-WX50) aswell, but I can’t seem to find the individual drivers? Anybody got a link or something?

Thanks a lot, mate, I was so frustrated! How did you know this solution?

Hey, thank You SO much! i thougt i´d go crazy.
I got the Matebook x, not the pro, but theses drivers for the pro worked for me.
Thank you!

Worked great for me right now after weeks looking for a solution but to no avail….so, thank you so much.

It worked, thank you so much!

I did this twice already and nothing. Windows Hello keeps saying that my device isn’t compatible.
