    IE11 Certificate Error on my tabs


    So hey guys, at one point my computer decided to lock up and I did a reset. So when I went to open the browser and restore my tabs, Half of them are coming up with certificate errors.
    These are the messages.

    1 There is a problem connecting securely to this website, click here to close this webpage
    2. There is a problem with this websites security certificate, click here to continue (not recommended) or click here to close (This happens a lot when google searching...)

    So short of uninstalling and reinstalling, does anyone have any fixes for this? (I have provided the screenshots of the errors as well)

    EDIT: ok Issues been escalated, its happening on all brwosers. I just tried on steams browser while gaming it wouldn't load google its default home page. Then i opened firefox and tried google and got the connection is untrusted. Screenshot given.

    Take a look at this thread:
    Microsoft move to revoke trust in 20 root certificates could wreak hav

    Maybe this change is what is causing your certificate issue.

    If i understand it correctly, the news article was published a month ago (December), as a "heads-up" for changes coming in (January).

    I don't know if this is what is causing your issue.

    I just posted a link to the news article (December) that i would research if i ran into the certificate issue you have now (January).

    Ok no its just me being an idiot. I rechecked the date and time. Right day, right month, wrong year. It went to 2010! When i asked a friend he reckons the bios battery died.
    Im gonna do a reset and see if fixed but battlenets not coming up with issue so i think itll work

    EDIT: everything works fine again will need to get a battery.

    Hi:

    In addition to @DavidE's excellent suggestions....

    Is your system date and time correct?

    (An incorrect setting can sometimes cause this sort of issue and you also mentioned that you recently "reset" (reinstalled? restored? repaired?) Windows?)

    Just a thought,

    You literally posted after I clicked mine haha, yeah a friend suggested it to me and when I double checked the date had went to 2010! Everything's working again but I might need to get a new BIOS battery.
