How can I reset my certificate manager to default?

I have downloaded a few self-signed certificates for developing purposes but now I want to reset my certificate manager to its default instead of restoring my PC. Is there a way or a command I can run to reset my certificate manager?

Hi, I'm Elise, and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

There isn't really a supported way of doing this, basically you need to identify which certificate have been added and then just delete them.

If you download the sigcheck utility from here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/d...

You can then locate the source of the certificate and see which once have been added manually by yourself and which are the default.

This article and thread go into more detail and give advise on how best to do this, but it is still essentially a manual process.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Kind Regards,
Elise
