Is this the same card you were trying a few days ago? Did you get the
certificates on it?  Are you sure the XP login is using the certificate?

Or is this a different card.

The NIST PIV specifications 800-73 call for the storing of a fingerprint
object on the card, but does not require the card to do the matching,
and does not define commands to supply the card with a fingerprint and
to do the match.

Some vendors may may provide vendor specific drivers for their cards. Or
a second application on the card to do the matching.

Your reader vendor says it has a Linux driver.

OpenSC can read the PIV fingerprint object so the match could be done in
host software, if you also have some fingerprint reader with driver.

opensc-tool -a would help identify the card type then See:

Not at this time. Are there any standards for these, any open source
available
