New Tool Fixes Broken HTTPS on Old Windows Systems - tech
(hx) 10:14 AM CEST - Aug,21 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)

A lightweight open-source utility called RootCertUpdater helps update outdated root certificates on Windows systems from XP to 11.

The standalone tool is written in AutoIt and requires no PowerShell or .NET Framework.

It downloads the official Microsoft certificate trust lists (authroot.stl and disallowedcert.stl) and installs them using the native Windows certutil command.

On Windows 7 it also automatically enables TLS 1.2 support through registry changes.

This resolves common “Certificate Invalid” and connection errors when accessing modern websites on older operating systems.

The project is available on GitHub under the account ibay613.

Singularity - PC, PS3, Xbox 360 - Raven have stated that Singularity's main gameplay mechanism is a device, known in the game as the TMD (Time Manipulation Device). The TMD has the ability to move a single object through time, both into the future, and into the past. It can also freeze an object in time, and has an 'Impulse' function, which can be used as a weapon once upgraded. The TMD is multifunctional, as it can be used as a powerful weapon, but also as a tool in puzzle solving scenarios. The device's use as a weapon is unconventional when compared to the weapons in other games. For instance, using the TMD's "rewind" function on a human opponent will send them into a "placental" state where they revert to an almost amoebic state, before slowly dying. The device is essential for solving puzzles, such as sending a lock forward in time, causing it to rust it in real time, or sending a broken bridge backwards in time until it returns to a usable state. Sending a tree trunk forwards in time while standing on it will cause it grow very quickly, allowing the player to reach higher areas. (805 hits)
