WINBIO_E_AUTO_LOGON_DISABLED

WINBIO_E_AUTO_LOGON_DISABLED is a policy result for the pre-boot/single-sign-on authentication path. It does not mean that the biometric unit cannot identify a user; the system is refusing the automatic logon transition that would consume the pre-boot identity.

Check the authentication scenario and policy

  • Determine whether the caller is processing a pre-boot identity or an ordinary Windows biometric verification.
  • Inspect the effective logon/biometric policy on the device instead of changing sensor calibration or capture parameters.
  • Keep this status separate from WINBIO_E_NO_PREBOOT_IDENTITY, where the required identity is absent rather than auto-logon being disabled.

WBF distinguishes system-pool Windows authentication from private application pools, and Microsoft documents pre-boot database support as a special session/database scenario. A policy that disables automatic logon should be surfaced to the caller as an expected administrative restriction, not hidden behind repeated identification attempts.
