Using your face or fingerprint to sign in on your Windows 11 computer helps you to secure your computer much more. To enhance the security of your device when using facial recognition, users should enable the Windows Hello anti-spoofing feature. The enhanced facial recognition protection feature disables Windows Hello facial authentication on devices that do not support enhanced anti-spoofing. Here are instructions for enabling Windows Hello anti-spoofing in Windows 11.
How to enable facial recognition anti-spoofing
Step 1:
First, go to Settings on Windows 11, then click on Accounts .
Step 2:
Switch to the side interface, scroll down to the Account settings section and then click on Sign-in options .
Step 3:
In another interface, users scroll down to the Ways to sign in section and then expand the Facial recognition setting to adjust the facial recognition mode on the computer.
Now you will select Enhanced facial recognition protection to enable the anti-fake facial feature when logging into the computer.
Finally restart your computer for the settings to take effect.

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Biometrics > Facial Features
In the Facial Features section, click on the Configure enhanced anti-spoofing value .
Step 2:
Now the option is displayed as shown, click Enabled to have Windows require all users on managed devices to use advanced anti-spoofing features for Windows Hello face authentication.
How to enable anti-tampering via Registry Editor Windows 11

Follow SUSE’s SP7 procedure to enable FIPS mode, reboot safely, verify the active policy, and check whether your compliance requirement calls for validated modules.
Compare YaST and cryptsetup for a new encrypted SLES data volume, choose LUKS1 or LUKS2, and verify unlock and mount behavior safely.
Create, refine, and verify a least-privilege AppArmor profile on SLES 15 SP7, with a clear note on SLES 16’s SELinux default.
Set up RMT on SLES 15, mirror entitled repositories, and verify HTTPS registration and package access from a test client.
Connect SLES 15 to AD with YaST’s SSSD-based logon management, then verify directory lookup, domain login, and Kerberos tickets.
Set up the right Live Patching path for SLES 16.0 or 15 SP7, apply eligible kernel fixes, and confirm what is active without confusing it with a reboot-required kernel update.
Load a custom SLES 15 kernel module without disabling Secure Boot. Match the running kernel, sign the .ko file, enroll a MOK key, and verify loading.
SLES 15 SP5 can migrate online to SP6, but each node must reboot. Use a tested rolling upgrade or blue-green cutover to keep workloads reachable.
Use SUSE’s supported STIG profile to scan SLES 15, test remediation, review remaining findings, and retain assessment evidence.
Trace a failed Cockpit connection through DNS, port 9090, the systemd socket, firewalld, TLS, and login settings using current SUSE guidance.
