I'm trying to use a smart card on my computer and I can't get it to read on one of my computers even though using the exact same reader works on the other. Both are running Windows 10 21H1. Plugging in the card reader into the non-working computer does install a device in Device Manager so the computer can detect the reader.
One thing I noticed that's different is that the working computer has a Smart Card service but the non-working does not have this service. My guess is I need that service to get it to recognize. But this is where I'm lost. So far, I've tried running the following:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
sfc /scannow
It did fix some things, but the Smart Card service still isn't showing up after a reboot.
Any pointers are much appreciated, thanks.
