AuthenTec TrueSuite Windows 10: Understanding Compatibility Issues with Broadcom USH

When it comes to securing your Windows PC, you may have come across the AuthenTec TrueSuite and ProtectorSuite applications. These security suites are designed to provide robust protection for your files and folders. However, users who own Dell systems equipped with a Broadcom fingerprint reader device may encounter issues when trying to install these applications.

The problem arises due to the fact that the AuthenTec TrueSuite and ProtectorSuite applications do not support the Broadcom Unified Security Hub (USH) standard used in certain Dell systems. As a result, users who attempt to install one of these applications on their system may receive an error message indicating that there is no fingerprint reader installed.

Currently, there is no Windows Biometric Framework (WBF) driver available for the Broadcom fingerprint reader device, and due to licensing costs, it's unlikely that such a driver will be developed in the future. This means that users who own systems with this type of fingerprint reader will not be able to utilize the AuthenTec TrueSuite or ProtectorSuite applications.

In terms of compatibility, the AuthenTec TrueSuite and ProtectorSuite applications are designed to work with systems that support the Windows Biometric Framework (WBF). However, the Broadcom USH standard used in certain Dell systems is not compatible with these applications. This means that users who own systems equipped with a Broadcom fingerprint reader device will not be able to install or utilize these security suites.

To protect your files and folders on your Windows 10 PC, you may want to consider alternative security solutions that are compatible with your system's fingerprint reader device. Additionally, it's always important to keep your operating system and software up-to-date with the latest security patches and updates to ensure maximum protection against potential threats.

I hope this information helps clarify any compatibility issues you may be experiencing with the AuthenTec TrueSuite or ProtectorSuite applications on your Windows 10 PC. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to tweet us or request assistance in the comments below.
