The ScardsVR service is a service in the Windows operating system that provides access to and management of smart cards. If you need to use a smart card for authentication or other operations, then it is very necessary to start the ScardsVR service. Here's a detailed introduction on how to start the ScardsVR service.
Step 1: Open the Services management console.
First, you need to open the service management console for Windows. Press the Win + R keys and type in "services."msc" and press Enter to open the Service Management Console.
Step 2: Find the ScardsVR service.
In the Service Management Console, find the service named "Smart Card Reader Services" and double-click to open the properties window for that service.
Step 3: Launch the ScardsVR service.
In the properties window, set the "Startup Type" to "Automatic" and click the "Startup" button to start the ScardsVR service. If the service is already running, it doesn't need to be started again.
Step 4: Check the ScardsVR service status.
After you start the ScardsVR service, you can view the status of the service in the service management console. If the service is running, it will show as Started. If the service does not start successfully, it will show as Stopped.
In addition to the above methods, you can also start the scardsvr service from the command line. Press the Win + X keys, select "Command Prompt (Admin)", and enter the following command in the Command Prompt window:
sc start scardsvr
Once you press enter, the system will attempt to start the ScardsVR service. If the service starts successfully, a message is displayed indicating that the service has started successfully.
It should be noted that if you are using a non-English version of the Windows operating system, you may need to replace "scardsvr" in the above command with the corresponding language name. Also, if you have more than one smart card reader device installed on your computer, you may need to specify the name of the device you want to use to start the ScardsVR service. For example, if your device name is "My Smart Card Reader", you can use the following command to start the ScardsVR service on that device:
sc start scardsvr /device:"my smart card reader"
Finally, it's important to note that if you're having trouble with your smart card, make sure that your smart card and card reader devices are both working properly and that the relevant drivers and software have been installed correctly. If you're still unable to resolve the issue, contact the vendor or technical support for assistance.
