# Root Certificate Updater

Update root certificates (and disallowed certificates) on Windows.

This repo contains **two options** to update root certificates. **Each option performs the same procedure.** 

If you're not sure which option to choose, use the GUI (the first option) as it's the easiest.

**No changes are made to any settings**, this **only** updates the root certificates. Windows Update is NOT required for this to work.

## **Option 1:** GUI

GUI application for updating root certificates. One click, done.

## **Option 2:** PowerShell Script

Update root certificates using a PowerShell script.

### Installation

You can either download the PS1 script from here, or install using...

```powershell

Install-Script UpdateRootCertificates

```

This script is published on [PowerShell Gallery](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/UpdateRootCertificates).

The code is signed, so if you want to change it, just removed the `# SIG # Begin signature block` line and everything beneath it.

### Usage

|Command|Description|

|--|--|

|`UpdateRootCertificates`|Normal run|

|`UpdateRootCertificates -Force`|Skip the 10 second wait before continuing execution|
