Broadcom USH w/swipe sensor Driver

The Broadcom USH w/swipe sensor driver helps Windows recognize the security hub and swipe-style fingerprint sensor fitted to certain Dell computers. You may need it after reinstalling Windows, if Device Manager lists an unidentified Broadcom USH device, or if fingerprint sign-in is unavailable because the appropriate driver is missing.

Key Features

• Device recognition: Helps resolve missing-driver warnings for compatible Broadcom USH hardware in Device Manager.
• Fingerprint sensor support: Enables communication with the swipe sensor; fingerprint enrollment and sign-in may also require compatible security software.
• Dell system integration: Works with supported Dell security hardware when you select the package intended for your computer model.
• Legacy Windows options: Driver packages may be available for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, depending on the Dell model and operating-system architecture.

How to Install Broadcom USH w/swipe sensor Driver

1. Identify your computer and Windows version. Check your Dell model or Service Tag, then confirm whether Windows is 32-bit or 64-bit. In Device Manager, inspect the Broadcom USH entry and its hardware IDs if you need to verify the device.
2. Choose a matching package. Before starting a Broadcom USH w/swipe sensor driver download for Windows, confirm that the package supports your exact model and operating system. On some Dell systems, the relevant driver is included in a ControlVault package.
3. Download from a trusted source. Prefer the manufacturer’s free download rather than third-party driver utilities. Select the latest version explicitly compatible with your hardware—not simply the newest package available.
4. Run the installer. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary, launch the setup program, and follow its instructions. If only driver files are provided, use Device Manager’s Update driver option and browse to the extracted folder.
5. Restart and verify. Reboot if prompted, then check that the device appears without a warning icon. If you want fingerprint sign-in, install any required, model-specific security software and enroll your fingerprint.

Keep the driver updated when Dell provides a compatible update that addresses stability, security, or device recognition. For Windows 10/11 users, compatibility needs particular attention: Windows 10 support depends on the package and model, while Windows 11 support should not be assumed for this older hardware. Avoid forcing an unsupported driver to install, and retain a working installer in case you need to restore it.
