Thanks Gwalk! Ran a check for updates and there are the ones applicable to my system. A check this morning didn't have any results. Going to download/install now.

I subscribe to US CERT. They send out email bulletins:

Some can be quite detailed:

Hopefully this resolves some issues of our customers not being able to access DoD sites. Some DoD sites for retrieving paperwork are/were encrypted with really old certs and some people just could not get there no matter what!

I used to be able to connect to my work via VDI (last time was only a few weeks ago). After one of the latest Windows updates, I can't, and it has something to do with certs as well.  I hope a future windows update will restore that ability.

Yeah, thanks for the reminder Gwalk. I had 7 updates to get. Downloading them now.
