WINBIO_E_DATABASE_CORRUPTED

WINBIO_E_DATABASE_CORRUPTED means the storage adapter determined that biometric template data is corrupt and cannot be used safely. This is not a normal non-match result.

What to check

  • Preserve the surrounding event and driver logs before resetting or reprovisioning the database.
  • Use the provider’s supported repair or reset procedure; templates may need to be re-enrolled after a verified reset.
  • Investigate storage, driver, and power-loss events that occurred before the corruption was detected.
