Root Certificates and Revoked Certificates for Windows XP

[EliraFriesnan]

Thank you! I'm trying to figure out whether it will work for the dreaded R3 issued certificates.

Thanks for letting us know, I updated too.

 

About this, I've just noticed from the Event Viewer that I still have lots of crypt32 errors due to the Microsoft Certificate Updater running

 

So I'm just gonna uninstall the Microsoft Auto Certificates Updater component given that not only it's no longer useful but it's even "harmful" in the sense that it would be throwing lots of errors for every time it tries to update the root certificates (and fails) in the background, so I invite anyone who still has this component to go "add or remove programs" -> "windows components" and remove it

 

[Dave-H]

I removed that years ago, it is of course now completely useless.

Me, too. When I had fixed all errors in my Windows XP system years ago, I also removed this Microsoft Auto Certificates Updater component.  And bye, bye error messsges in the Event Viewer. 

[FranceBB]

Yeah, I'm still going through all the errors in the Event Viewer and the plan is to fix them all one by one once and for all on all my systems (the physical one and the VM).

Getting rid of those errors in the Event Viewer does feel good and I reduced them all to just 2 (affecting the system running in the VM) but I'll probably open a separate topic about those as I can't wrap my head around those... I mean they seem to be a bit cryptic.

Yeah, same here.

Personally, I have no problem with something no longer working. But if it also produces error (messages), then it's a completely different story. Get rid of it!

Is there a solution for the "ISRG Root X2" certificate so that an encrypted connection can be established with 360Chrome?

Test page:
https://valid-isrgrootx2.letsencrypt.org/

[Dave-H]

If that is a test page, it seems to work fine here.

[Anbima]

Yes, the page is displayed, but it is not encrypted.
