No issues here. Took me all of maybe 10 seconds to set up. Just searched for it with Cortana.

Did you update the firmware? I read somewhere that it was included in the firmware update.

Did you do the firmware update? I believe some of the reviews I read said it wasn't available yet but would be by the time the device ships and a firmware update is applied.

Also, you may have to verify your account first in Settings as well if using a Microsoft account.

No I haven't. That's probably it. I'll report back. Thank you all

Windows Hello is awesome, super fast to login. I found it in Settings, Accounts, Sign in Options. I did install updates prior though, right after my initial setup.

Same. Did updates immediately, then started messing around with setting everything up. I found it by using Cortana to search.

All good after updates. Thanks

Hello unlock is so fast and responsive... Love it so far

Yep! Works very well. (Man this keyboard is awesome.....)

I love how my screen unlocks before my external screens even turn back on from sleep mode.

Had an issue with Hello. Works great if I am online, but I took it to work and hadn't joined that WiFi network yet. It came up and basically said I wasn't online and to sign in with the last password. Makes sense and not a problem, except for the fact that hitting the OK button caused it to try hello again and again and again with no possible way of selecting a different sign in option. Had to hold the power button to reboot it and cover the camera with my finger to get it to let me type in a password.
