    SmartCard Service error


    I'm experiencing an issue with my SmartCard.I thought it was the reader. It is not. I repeat, it's NOT the reader.I checked the service and noticed that it's not running. I tried to start it and got an error:Windows could not start the Smart Card service on Local Computer.Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion.I thought it might be the DLLs but a cursory look at SCardSvr.dll looks exactly the same as one on another machine that is working normally. I checked the dependencies; my computer and the known good computer have NO dependencies.I've

    Smartcard service never stays in "Automatic" mode

    Hello,

    For some banking operation, we (my company) must use a USB smartcard reader. Despite our efforts, the smartcard service is always disabled at startup, which is pretty annoying considering the operator is not administrator on its computer.

    Any idea about that?

    Smartcard login


    Hi All

    I have started to use a Smartcard to login to my Windows 10 Education machine. Logging in works fine but the one annoying problem I have is that when I boot up the machine and am at the login screen it ALWAYS defaults to using a password login. This even happens after successfully logging in with the Smartcard. ie: it doesn't "remember" that I last used a Smart card to login.

    Is there a way to set the Smartcard as the default login? I still want the password login to be an option but I always want the Smartcard to be the default.

    Basically, I want to turn the machine on and to then be presented with a PIN entry screen to login with my Smart card. (I'm the only person that uses this machine)

    Currently I have to ALWAYS change from a password login by selecting the Smartcard on the logon screen and only then can I enter the PIN.

    I also have to change from a password logon to a Smartcard logon even if I have just locked my machine!

    So, is there a way I can set Windows 10 to ALWAYS default to using a Smartcard login?

    I have clients that use Smartcards with Windows 7 and it always remembers the last logon type. Can Windows 10 do this as well?

    For those interested I am using the following to use a Smartcard on a workgroup machine:

    SmartCard Service error

    Smartcard login

    My new laptop, a Thinkpad T480s has a smartcard reader and is shipped with Window 10 Pro. How can I use the smartcard reader to log into Windows using a smartcard?

    I'm not really interested in all kinds of technical stuff about smartcards, I'm just a home user and I have a smartcard reader and several smartcards that might be usable. Simple as that. I don't need filesystem encryption for now either.

    I see it as just logging in with an alternative input - not unlike fingerprint login really.

    But instead of fingerprint, I want to use smartcard.

    How to do it?
