Ever since the October updates for Windows 10, I keep getting prompted over a dozen times to enter my pin for my CAC. I’ve heard that if I remove the update, the problem goes away. How can one report this problem to Microsoft? It’s very annoying and could cause me to lock my CAC out if I enter my pin wrong more than three times.

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

AskWoody LoungerNovember 19, 2019 at 3:47 pm #20081651809 and specifically it’s KB4519338. I should also mention, this is when accessing my military email via OWA. My system is managed by my IS dept and they are not likely to remove the KB.
Furthermore, I’ve since had the November updates applied and saw no change in the behavior.
Use a web-based tool like Zoho Assist (or something similar) to remote into a PC/laptop at home, then hit your .mil OWA from there.
