Getting: NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID

DENNIS NICHOLS 26

I keep getting this: NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID using Chrome and some web pages won't load [other pages do load], IExplore won't access these pages also. I found the certificate for the: DST Root CA X3 has expired. Investigating, I found a reference to: 48504E974C0DAC5B5CD476C8202274B24C8C7172. I run Windows 7 64 bit and found teh SystemCertificates locations in the registry. How do I remove this old certificate and replace with the proper one? Thank You, Dennis Nichols.

Finally, i've found the way :

Win + r. and type “certmgr.msc”

Then, delete 3 items :
R3 Certificate and DST ROOT CA X3

To delete, just win + r “certmgr.msc” then go thru :

Trusted Root Certification Authorities > Certificates

Intermediate Certification Authorities > Certificates

Third-party root Certification Authorities > Certificates

Right click, and press delete

To locate the right certificate :
Just use Issued By and Expiration Date, search for certificate issued by DST ROOT CA X3, and expired around 29-30 sept 2021.

Install new certificate :
Download this : https://letsencrypt.org/certs/isrgrootx1.der
Double click it.
Then, Choose Local Machine, Next
Choose Place all Certificates in the following store, and then choose "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" folder

Restart your PC

Worked for WIN 7 and WIN 10 ( Tested )

Are there other suggestions to fix this issue? I followed these directions but did not fix the issue. Also I could only locate and delete one of the suggested certificates.

Thank You very much for this great solution!
It was really annoying to get these errors all the time.
All other methods like turning back the system time or reinstalling browsers did not work, but this method does.
I have an Acer Notebook with Win7/64bit SP1
and the browsers are Opera 90.0.4480.54 and Chrome 104.0.5112.102
Both had the errors on almost every website I visited. Now gone.
You are a hero!

Hey, I tried to delete all 3 files like @Fahrul Putra
but I had only 1 file -> DST ROOT CA X3
when I go inside -> win + r “certmgr.msc”
Found the file like he said at:

Trusted Root Certification Authorities > Certificates

but the other files I did not found, wasn't any file from 2021 with same names inside those folders :

Intermediate Certification Authorities > Certificates

Third-party root Certification Authorities > Certificate

please help ):
