Answer 1

For finger print scanner try follow compatibility troubleshooing:

Since it is pre-Beta version of Windows, some functions and features might not work. But these compatibility issues will solve for future release or through Windows Update or Support from Manufacturer.

Answer 2

I did all that at the time I installed the App and drivers for the finger print sensor.

That's why I can Shut down and Log off, But not log in to my Laptop.

 

 

 

 

Answer 3

Since this is a pre-release version of the Windows Developer Preview, not all 3rd party peripherals will work with this operating system.
If the compatiblity mode does not work, I suggest you contact Acer to see if they have an updated driver for the fingerprint scanner.
