Does anyone else's fingerprint unlock it?  Any of your other fingers? That would be a real problem.  It's possible that your thumb prints have a similar enough pattern that the sensor thinks it's the same.  You can try redoing the fingerprint to see if the behavior is the same.

I programmed my thumbprint the max times

I meant to delete the finger print(s) and re-do it, not add the same fingerprint 3 times.  There's no point in that.  The 3 fingerprints are so you can program 3 different fingers.

@executioner1244 Do you by chance have Face recognition enabled? 

Do you have anything enabled in Lock screen -> Extend unlock? 

With either of these things, you could see the fingerprint on the screen for a short period before the device realizes that it can unlock. So it appears your left thumb is unlocking it.

If those don't address it, as a troubleshooting step, remove all current fingerprints and then add one only for your right thumb.

@executioner1244 Did you do the troubleshooting step?

As a troubleshooting step, remove all current fingerprints and then add one only for your right thumb. 

Until you do that, I'm not convinced that you didn't once scan your other thumb. 

Also confirm nothing enabled on Extend unlock and face recognition is off.

If your fingerprint reader is on the power button, it does not capture your whole print.  As I said before, the section of print it captured may be similar enough on both your thumbs to fool the sensor.  This is not CIA level security.  Does anyone else's finger unlock the tablet?
