Unlock with biometric broken

[alcwj_chong8 (Alvin)]

I used unlock with biometric on my browser Vivaldi on my win 10 pro x64 Laptop a chromium based browser it was working fine until recently probably the latest updates. Now when i choose unlock with biometric setting on browser extension setting I’m getting "Start the Bitwarden Desktop application

The Bitwarden Desktop application needs to be started before this function can be used." I have the application loaded and already showing in the tray icon. This was working before. please advise
