Windows 10: I'm having trouble with my CAC reader for my military ID.

Everything worked perfectly fine on my Macbook but when i try to use it on windows it wont let me login to DOD websites. I went and downloaded the certs from other comments about this same issue but i am still unable to get it to work. Any help is much appreciated

Windows 10 1909 Update, disabled Military CAC Smart Card Readers

I have an issue with the recent Windows Update 1909. A week ago I had no issues accessing my Military CAC. After a recent Update I could no longer access my CAC.

Both Smart Card readers are listed in Device Manager but ActiveClient does not list any card readers available. I cannot access via iExplorer, Firefox, or Chrome.

 

Windows 10 Military CAC access sites

What a non-answer. Is microsoft not paying attention AT ALL? As a military member, I am unable to log onto any site that requires my CAC with windows 8.1. I bought a little laptop (that was supposed to be windows 7, but came "upgraded" to 8.1) for the
sole purpose of not subjecting my MacBook to all the junk you have to reconfigure just to accommodate the CAC and reader. The whole system is ridiculous. You know the US military is a huge customer. Why on earth can't you sort this out? Just fix it! I hate
being forced to use windows, and that's super sad for your company.

 

CAC Card reader not detecting the card

Hello, I've read several posts with the EXACT same question, but they're not resolved, so I'm starting my own. I'm in the military and use a CAC CARD reader to access websites. After a recent windows update, my computer no longer detects my CAC CARD. The
card reader is fine, but the card itself isn't detecting. I REPEAT, the card reader is fine. (Also, its NOT an SD card. Its a CAC card. On an other post here, a fix was suggested for an SD card. Its not an SD card).

The card reader is detected, I've updated and reinstalled the driver multiple times. I've tried rolling it back. The card reader shows on the computer under Device Manager, it shows on other computers too, and the CAC Card works on other computers. It is
not a problem with the card reader, or the card, it is a problem with some settings in this computer. Internet explorer, google chrome, and firefox all fail to see the CAC Card on this computer. Can you please help fix how my computer will detect the card
itself?

The card reader i'm using is called "Stanley Global Technologies" and in Device Manager it shows as Smart Card Reader- "Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader".

Thanks!
