Windows 10: [Solved] How to determine Windows Security CryptoAPI Private Key popup source?

Hello,


I started getting random prompts for the password to my private certificate. I only use it for a certain web site, and up until now I only got the prompt when visiting that site. As far as I know, nothing else should be accessing the certificate. I can't find a way to determine the reason for the prompt. Does anyone know if this is possible?

:)
