CAPI2 errors

Question

I've been getting these errors since Power-up this morning. I've made no changes since yesterday. I've tried system restore, Image restore, sfc /scannow, removed Ready-Boost USB flash drive and can't find anything wrong. I get one error at PUP, and another error when I check Mail with Live-beta, another error for every message from Forums, and another error every time I enter Forums.

You got that right, Pete!

Answer 3

Now I understand why many people just never look in event viewer. lol  Guess it's no big deal or else there would be an Action Center alert, right?  So I will just ignore until MS fixes it via WindowsUpdate or something. (And I use Firefox anyway.) heh

Answer 4

The other thread is the reason I looked. I'm not the one that disabled it unless it happened accidentally while I was trying to manually import the certificate. It makes me start to wonder if Microsoft has the ability to disable these things through an update. I don't know what the original settings were, making it difficult to return things to all factory default settings. I may just leave it alone until I get a SSD and have to do a re-install anyway.

Answer 5

Exact same situation here, as you can see on the other thread .

This problem is really annoying, and also is a vulnerability in itself, since the trusted root list is not updated.
