Open Powershell on the user's device with admin privileges. 


Run these commands: 


takeown /f "C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC" /r /d y


icacls "C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC" /grant administrators:F /t


net stop WbioSrvc


Remove-Item "C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC" -Recurse -Force


Then reboot the system. Logging in should prompt re-registering of Windows Hello methods.
