QuickUnlock feature is broken in KeepassXC 2.7.8 (Touch ID / Windows Hello availability detection looks broken)

@droidmonkey I would like to thank you a lot for your help and detailed explanation.

It helped us to find what is the problem and how it appeared on our side. Now it is resolved. In few words: our system engineer responsible for the tracking updates of KeepassXC accidentally downloaded the LegacyWindows build from the https://keepassxc.org/download/ and uploaded it to our internal mirror (local version is renamed). Now we have fixed this process so problem reason will not repeat. :)

Thank you once again.

Make sure you are not using the legacy windows version. Quick unlock works fine on windows.

Looks like you are slightly kidding. :)

I use Windows 10 and installed latest updates - it is supported by Microsoft. macOS Ventura on other my laptop is not legacy and supported by Apple (I would ever say that Ventura is more stable than Sonoma). In our company people do not switch to 2.7.8 because it frustrate them by broken QuickUnlock feature.

It is obvious that if on the same stations 2.7.7 works well and 2.7.8 has functionality broken then it is more like a bug - as everybody expects that you use SemVer (Semantic Versioning) and software updates by third number in a version means bugfixes only and no breaking changes.

I know what is Open Source Software and participate in several projects. It is uneasy, money free, moved forward by volunteers... But, please, could be so kind to pay more attention to the problem, reopen this issue and maybe fix it. I would be glad to provide detailed information from my side if it will be required.

We offer two different downloads for windows, one is a legacy build for windows 7 and below:

That one doesn't support quick unlock.

We also made no code changes to quick unlock in 2.7.8 and it's working fine for everyone else.
