I'm not sure how different the interface is on OneUI, but on my Pixel when I swipe up and hold on an app to open the App Switcher, there is a button below the app that takes a screenshot of just that app.
I don't remember when it was first introduced, but it is a feature of stock Android, so it should be present in some capacity on most Android phones.

You may have tried this already, but Microsoft does have a specific troubleshooter for Windows Hello via the Get Help app and at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/troubleshoot-problems-with-windows-hello-bf68539e-e95e-48b6-a6cb-455649db3887. Though if all else fails, you could also try uninstalling and then re-installing the "Facial Recognition (Windows Hello)" feature via Settings > Optional Features and see if that helps any or not.

Today Microsoft is releasing **Windows 11 Builds 22621.3227 and 22631.3227 (KB5034848)** to Insiders in the Release Preview Channel on Windows 11, version 22H2 (Build 22621) and version 23H2 (Build 22631). Details as follows: Along with this update, we are also releasing a **February Windows Configuration Update (KB5035349)** for both Windows 11, version 22H2 and 23H2 that introduces a few new features and improvements such as: * **Voice access** is available in additional languages: French (France, Canada), German, and Spanish (Spain, Mexico). * You can now use all **voice access** features on multiple displays. * Voice shortcuts or custom commands in **voice access**. * You can now listen to a preview of the ten natural voices in **Narrator** before you download them. * You can now use **voice access** to open applications, dictate text, and interact with elements on the screen. You can also use your voice to command **Narrator**. * The Windows share window will use the account you use to sign in for apps that are in “Share using.” For example, if you use a Microsoft account (MSA) to sign in, you will see Microsoft Teams (free). When you use a Microsoft Entra ID account (formerly Azure Active Directory) to sign in, your Microsoft Teams (work or school) contacts show instead. * The Windows share window now supports sharing with WhatsApp in the “Share using” section. If you do not have WhatsApp installed, you can install it from the Windows share window. * You can use quick settings or the Settings app to turn on Nearby Share. If you do and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are off, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will turn on to make Nearby Share work as you expect. If you turn off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, Nearby Share turns off as well. * You can now give your device a more friendly name to identify it when sharing. Go to Settings \> System \> Nearby sharing. There, you can rename your device. * We have improved **Nearby Share** transfer speed for users on the same network. Before, users had to be on the same private network. Now, users must be on the same public or private network. * The **Cast** flyout menu in quick settings gives you more help to find nearby displays, fix connections, and more. * We are adding suggestions to **Snap Layouts**. They help you to instantly snap multiple app windows together. * [Improvements for Windows 365 Boot and Windows 365 Switch](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/new-windows-365-boot-and-switch-features-in-public-preview/ba-p/4027398).  If you have the toggle to get the latest updates as soon as they are available turned ON via Settings \> Windows Update BEFORE installing **KB5034848**, you will also get the February Windows Configuration Update (KB5035349) installed at the same time you install **KB5034848** in a single reboot. Note only **KB5034848** will show during install on the Settings \> Windows Update page. But after restarting, the February Windows Configuration Update (KB5035349) will be shown in your Update History. This Windows Configuration Update is how we’re enabling new features via [Controlled Feature Rollout (CFR) technology](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/delivering-continuous-innovation-in-windows-11-b0aa0a27-ea9a-4365-9224-cb155e517f12). Should you install **KB5034848** without turning on the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available before, you can simply turn it on, and the February Windows Configuration Update will be downloaded on your PC where you will be asked to reboot. Should you install **KB5034848** and keep the toggle off, the new features will be gradually rolled out to your device over time. **KB5034848** includes the following improvements: * ***New!*** The Copilot in Windows icon now appears on the right side of the system tray on the taskbar. Also, the display of **Show desktop** at the rightmost corner of the taskbar will be off by default. To turn it on, go to **Settings \> Personalization \> Taskbar**. You can also right-click the taskbar and choose **Taskbar settings**. * ***New!*** The Phone Link settings page has a new name: Mobile devices. Go to **Settings \> Bluetooth & devices \> Mobile devices**. * ***New!*** You can now use the Snipping Tool on your PC to edit the most recent photos and screenshots from your Android device. You will get an instant notification on your PC when your Android device captures a new photo or screenshot. To turn this on, go to **Settings \> Bluetooth & devices \> Mobile devices**. Choose **Manage devices** and allow your PC to access your Android device. * This update affects games you install on a secondary drive.
