Goodix Fingerprint Sensor Driver not installing on i7706-79725

The fingerprint sensor on the above machine was working with no problems while I was out of town on vacation last week. I noticed today after connecting the machine back on my home network that the sensor wasn't working.  I ran the update file from the Dell web site and kept getting the message shown below.

I also tried to uninstall the driver from the Apps screen and found that I couldn't reinstall it. It doesn't show on Device Manager after turning on hidden devices either. I was able to solve this problem the last time it happened but am completely stumped this time. Any ideas?

I found a solution on another web site that seemed to work. They recommended uninstalling the following from Device Manager.Screenshot 2023-06-10 003529.png

After uninstalling restart the PC and the Goodix Fingerprint Sensor will appear under Biometric devices. You can then go to Settings/Accounts/Sign-In options to turn on the Fingerprint sensor.
