Hello, I opened my command line and ran the "certutil" and "certutil -dump" commands. What happened after that? What are the consequences? And how to revert the changes? I don't know anything about the certutil command and what it does. Do I have to reinstall my Windows?

I appreciate your help.

    Hello,David Rodriguez_081.

    Welcome to Microsoft community.

    Certutil.exe is a command line program that is installed as part of the Certificate service.

    If you run certutil on a CA with no other parameters, it displays the current CA configuration. If certutil is run on a non-certificate authority, the command is run by default.

    If you only ran the "certutil" and "certutil -dump" commands。It only display the current CA configuration, It doesn't have to do anything, it doesn't affect your system.

    This link contains all the information. Certuil

    If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me   know.
