WinBioCaptureSampleWithCallback failed. OperationStatus = 0x80004001

Question

I am trying to read fingerprints and save them using WBF.

I tried the sample code, however, I get an error code back. I am able to use the fingerprint reader to log into windows, but am unable to capture samples from it.

I am running Windows 10 on a Lenovo Yoga system, and VS 2015 Community.

This is what I get when I run my code:

Calling WinBioCaptureSampleWithCallback Swipe the sensor ...

CaptureSampleCallback executing Swipe processed - Unit ID: 0 WinBioCaptureSampleWithCallback failed. OperationStatus = 0x80004001

Press any key to exit...

Thank you!

Sample code:

HRESULT CaptureSampleWithCallback(BOOL bCancel)
{
    HRESULT hr = S_OK;
    WINBIO_SESSION_HANDLE sessionHandle = NULL;

    // Connect to the system pool. 
    hr = WinBioOpenSession( 
            WINBIO_TYPE_FINGERPRINT,    // Service provider
            WINBIO_POOL_SYSTEM,         // Pool type
            WINBIO_FLAG_RAW,            // Raw access
            NULL,                       // Array of biometric unit IDs

Have you checked on google or with the SDK documentation what OperationStatus = 0x80004001 translates to? I am thinking you need to stop the windows service for the fingerprint before you embark on trying out the project you are developing on Visual Studio 2015.
