Details:

The Microsoft Root Certificate Program supports the distribution of root certificates, enabling customers to trust Windows products. The United States Federal PKI team formally requested the removal of the "G1" root certificate from the Microsoft Trusted Root Program. Administrators should implement the "G2" root certificate before the "G1" root certificate is removed by a future out-of-band (OOB) root certificate update.


When will this happen:


Applications and operations that depend on the "G1" root certificate will fail after they receive the certificate update, which is scheduled to be released on the third Tuesday of one of the months between March 22, 2022 and August 23, 2022. Administrators should migrate from the existing "G1" root certificate to the replacement "G2" root certificate prior to this date.
