I am constantly getting issues like the following in Chrome:

 

 

Given Chrome is my main browser, this makes everything clunky, and many sites broken for obscure reasons because Chrome falsely detects a domain as having an invalid certificate and thus it won't load critical javascript or CSS files.

 

I strongly suspect this comes from a time when part of my web development job required installing HTTPS certificates manually and overriding some that were installed. That said, we never kept track of which ones or why, and by now every computer I own is having the same issue for the same reason. Really just want to wipe out what's there and start fresh if there's a way to do that.

 

Firefox works fine on the sites where Chrome throws a fit I should note. Anyone have an easy way to remove the HTTPS certs I've messed with? Chrome and Firefox are both fully up-to-date.

Hi,

 

Try to follow this guide http://woshub.com/up...-in-windows-10/

it shows how to download a list of root certificates from Windows Update and install them.

I think that's exactly what I'm after! But, I'm held up by this part:

 

• Download rootsupd.exe

 

There's no link to this file anywhere in the article I can find, and I'm sure I don't have to explain why I won't go looking around for it on Google with the malware experience you have   Not to mention it says it was made for XP, which is well past end-of-life (that part confuses me as they even mention it in the article).

 

I tried skipping ahead given the XP emphasis and just running the commands:

certutil.exe -generateSSTFromWU roots.sst
updroots.exe roots.sst

The first runs fine, and roots.sst is now a file, but the second fails. updroots.exe does not exist anywhere on my system it seems, and is downloaded from the XP section.

Should I try further and go with the last section? What's the next step?
