How to Update a Microsoft Certificate
A Microsoft certificate--also known as a "Microsoft Root Certificate"--is essentially a digital "seal of approval" Microsoft applies to trusted third-party websites and applications. Ordinarily, the update of these certificates is done automatically by Windows. Occasionally, however, you may wish to manually update the certificates. In order to accommodate this, Microsoft has released a Manual Update package for Windows Root Certificates that can be downloaded and used free of charge.
