Facial recognition on Windows Hello platform can be reset by waving your hand across the front of the screen, Jedi-style, a blogger has discovered.Noting that Windows Hello's facial recognition is one of the best and biggest conveniences to come with Windows 10, veteran Microsoftie Raymond Chen found however that if it doesn't recognise you first time, that a Jedi wave will awaken the system.”Anyway, the point is: Jedi mind trick. It works in real life”, writes Chen.When Windows Hello fails to recognize your face, it refuses to try the recognition again automatically, forcing you to use other authentication methods. The way to turn that frown upside down, usually, is to move your face away from the camera's field-of-view to break the connection and force the camera to register a “new face”.Instead of also saying, “this isn't the droid you are looking for”, Chen also suggests going to Windows Settings, Sign-in Options, and improving the computer's recognition of your face.
