Downloads the latest root certificate lists from Microsoft and installs them on your computer.

Optionally you can specify the -Force parameter to skip the 10 second wait before continuing execution.

This program updates the trusted and disallowed root certificates on your system by downloading and installing the latest versions directly from Microsoft. These certificates are used by Windows to determine whether to trust or block websites, software, and other secure communications. By installing them manually, this tool ensures your system has the latest root certificates without relying on Windows Update.
