Windows Hello Broken in the Dark: A Security Upgrade's Cost?

Users are reporting that Windows Hello has stopped working in dark environments. Microsoft's update, aimed at patching a spoofing vulnerability, now requires both IR sensors and a webcam for facial recognition. While enhancing security, this means users can't use Windows Hello in low-light conditions unless they disable their webcam. A workaround involves disabling the webcam, restoring dark-room functionality but sacrificing video call capabilities. This upgrade prioritizes security, but at the cost of convenience for users.
