Trusted Root certificates regularly disappear on Windows 7
"Root" store solved it
The solution was to install it into the Root
store, which puts it under Registry
(if you view physical stores in the Certificates snap-in), instead of the AuthRoot
store, which puts it under Third-Party
. I don't know why it was disappearing from Third-Party
, but it hasn't happened since I made this change.
Thanks to Charlie Wilson for pointing me in the right direction. I just wanted to type out the full answer in case anyone else had this problem.
When you choose where the certificates should be stored are you choosing a physical store such as Registry or Local Computer? I am not sure what the problem is but I have always been successful with choosing Registry. Good luck.
