I applied the Credential Provider Sample provided by MS(https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-classic-samples) on Windows10 in VMware.

But there is nothing changed.

Below is what I applied.

Please let me know if I missed something or did something wrong.

Thanks in adavance.

  1. I placed the .dll file in the C:/Windows/System32.
  2. I ran the Register.reg below.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Credential Providers{5fd3d285-0dd9-4362-8855-e0abaacd4af6}]
@="SampleV2CredentialProvider"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{5fd3d285-0dd9-4362-8855-e0abaacd4af6}]
@="SampleV2CredentialProvider"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{5fd3d285-0dd9-4362-8855-e0abaacd4af6}\InprocServer32]
@="SampleV2CredentialProvider.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

  1. To apply my credential provider as the default credential provider, I entered the GUID into 'Assign a default credential provider'.

    Hi, I'm facing same issue. I've performed following steps:

    I'm starting with https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-classic-samples/tree/main/Samples/CredentialProvider, built it in with Visual Studio 2019 as win32 app. My target machine is Windows 10 version 22H2 (64 bit). I've performed following steps but still not seeing Sample/Custom Credential provider tile on logon screen.

    1. Copied the SampleV2CredentialProvider.dll in the C:/Windows/System32.
    2. Ran the Register.reg
    3. Set sample credential provider as the default credential provider, by adding the GUID into 'Assign a default credential provider'.
    4. Installed Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022
    5. Also tried adding a new key AutoAdminLogon at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon as this key doesn't already exist.
    6. This doesn't work either https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/474952/custom-credential-provider-cannot-loaded Windows credential provider not shown in 21H1

    What possibly can be wrong?
