The biometric driver sample was removed in February in #1111 (related to #828), apparently for being outdated. However, the Microsoft guide for writing a biometric driver, which claims to be recent as of last March, references this sample many times.

I submitted feedback on that page, but I assume it won't be seen. I'm not really sure how or where to report these inconsistencies where teams clearly didn't communicate, but this makes developing such a driver a bit unpleasant when the samples claim the documented method is obsolete, but also don't provide any alternatives.
