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.
