Hello all, I am trying to access a system that requires Smart Card authentication. Windows 7 pops up a Security Message asking for my to press Ctrl-Alt-Del and selecting if I would like to continue to selecting a certificate, or if I would like to cancel. I have the UAC disabled and had done some Group Policy setting to fully disable UAC. But the issue is still persisting. Does anyone know of what I am speaking of, and/or have any input on how to get rid of this annoyance. It should just be asking for me to select a certificate and not have this stupid windows security pop-up. I will be adding a screenshot and more info in the morning.

Hi, Did you follow this guide to disable UAC? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off Also try to add a certificate credential in Credential Manager for test. If issue persists, I suggest to contact administrator in your company, maybe some configuration should be set with your Smart Card. Thank you for your understanding.

I have UAC disabled with the slider bar as well as in Group Policy. It's not a configuration within my smart card either. I get the same pop up when I try to click to add a certificate to the certificate manager. Also, when I add an object to a group I get the pop up. Here is a screenshot of the issue. On my virtual Win 7 Desktop, I just get asked to select a credential where as on my physical desktop I get asked to do the above thing and then it allows me to select a credential. Oh, and I am an Administrator on the box.

Try to disable “Security Accounts Manager” and “Security Center” in Service to see the result.
