Ultimately not sure what was changed with the driver, but it might be worthwile to check and potentially update.
When I extracted the drivers from the EXE wrapped MSI, there were two sets of drivers, one set with the August 8 and one set signed Thursday, September 17, 2015 7:48:00 PM. (* I did not actually install this older driver on my computer with a physical fingerprint reader.
The drivers from the "DigitalPersona 4500 WBF driver 5.0.0.5.zip" file have digital signature signing times of "Tuesday, August 8, 2017 12:59:19 PM" and the 'Readme.txt' file mentions the date "August 18 2017". The drivers from the "4500_wbf_driver_5.0.0.5_rs3.zip" file have digital signature signing times of "Thursday, October 26, 2017 2:11:53 PM" and the 'Readme.txt' file mentions the date "November 15 2017". While it's not referenced anywhere else, the filename of the ZIP from HID's site references "5.0.0.5_rs3" and contains newer files. Not sure when it appeared, but HID's site has a unrestricted driver download:
Since this thread shows up pretty highly on searches for "u.are.u 4500 fingerprint reader", I figured I would bump this with some info I have found, including an 'official' link and a newer driver than the other ones posted here.
