Steps for reproducing this issue:

        print("Tidak ada pembaca kartu pintar yang tersedia.")
    else:
        for reader in available_readers:
            try:

What did you do to get the error?
Have you removed the reader?

See also #136 #153

1. I use the ACS 120U reader, I want to learn to use the Smartcard Reader in my Python program, but when I run the program to see the available readers I get this error

2. Yes, I have removed the reader

[LudovicRousseau]

You get the error AFTER you removed the reader?

Please describe exactly what you do and what you get.

[syariffortask]

I have run my code with the smartcard reader plug in my computer's USB port, but when I run my program above there is an error, this is the error "The Smart Card Resource Manager is not running. (0x8010001D)"

[LudovicRousseau]

The error is returned by Windows itself.
Maybe you reader driver is not installed or something like that.

[syariffortask]

But i have already install driver for acs reader 120u

[LudovicRousseau]

I can't help on Windows.
Maybe ACS can provide some support.

Windows requires the Smart Card service to be running. Sometimes you have to enable it before you can communicate to a NFC reader. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/smartcard-resource-manager-is-not-running/b9aefb42-9d43-4356-8d63-341d2b1bba4a

[syariffortask]

I've already runing smart card service

[mbokil]

One other thing with Windows we found is after the user plugs in the NFC reader we always have them restart. We found the device drivers that install via plug and play often times need to be restarted. Then Python will be able to communicate to the device via SWIG.

still can't solve this isue, anybody can help please

@syariffortask have you asked Microsoft?
You've bought a Windows license, so you should receive technical support for Windows-related problems. No ?

[syariffortask]

I have already ask Microsoft but Microsoft still can't reply my message
