Method 1: Modify the Windows Hello policy

As some users have reported, there is one method that will allow you to enforce a policy on your machine that will ensure that the “Windows Hello for Business provisioning will not be launched” error will no longer fill up your Event Viewer.

There are two different policies that you need to adjust in order to ensure that the issue is resolved. Here’s how to modify the WIndows Hello policy in order to prevent the Event Viewer message from appearing again:

Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, type “gpedit.msc” and press Enter to open up the Local Group Policy Editor.
Type gpedit.msc and Press Enter To Open Group Policy Editor

Once you get inside the Local Group Policy Editor, use the left-hand pane to navigate to the following location:

Приветствую. Windows Hello for Business provisioning will not be launched — сообщение в журнале событий, переводится как подготовка Windows Hello для бизнеса не будет запущена.

Начинаем разбираться

Скриншот сообщения:

Собственно вопрос — как отключить данное предупреждение? На форуме Microsoft нашел способ — работает он или нет, к сожалению сказать не могу, у меня нет такого предупреждения. Как я понимаю — нужно отключить Windows Hello for Business, и это сделать можно через Редактор локальной группой политики. Итак, зажимаем кнопки Win + R, пишем в окошко команду:

gpedit.msc

Откроется редактор. Переходим сюда: Конфигурация компьютера > Административные шаблоны > Компоненты Windows > Windows Hello для бизнеса:

В этом разделе, справа будут настройки:

В результате должно получится так:

Если у вас в этом окне будет больше трех опций — попробуйте и их отключить.

Важно! Оказалось настройка есть также и в разделе Конфигурация пользователя. То есть путь такой же, но только Конфигурация пользователя:

У меня лично здесь опций нет:

Будут опции — пробуйте отключать.

На форуме Ru Board был найден еще один способ

Один юзер на форуме написал — если отключение Windows Hello for Business не помогает, попробуйте в реестре отключить. Запустите реестр — зажмите Win + R, напишите команду:

regedit
