    Hi there,

    You can start your computer in safe mode and disable this security feature and see if that helps.

    -Enter "Safe Mode With Networking" from the boot menu and then to your "Regedt32".
    -Expand the file path to the smart card login key by selecting the following directories:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

    -Right-click "scforeoption" and select "Modify" to edit the key's properties. In the Value Data field, change the current value of "1" to "0" and click "OK."
    -Close Registry Editor and restart your computer in normal mode.
