I am trying to use WinCrypt APIs to extract private key for a certificate installed in Windows Certificate Store. The certificate is installed in LocalMachine - "My" store and by default the "Enable Strong Private Key protection" is greyed out (as expected). I am unable to export private key for the certificate from Local Machine store. When I try using powershell commands, I am able to export certificate with private key but I am seeing the confirmation dialog pop up that usually comes if "Enable Strong Private Key protection" is checked. But this does not seem right for a Local Machine store. Can someone shed light on the same? Is there a way to Enable Strong Private Key protection even for Local Machine store also?
