I started getting this error on July 11th at 11:57am CST. I was doing nothing at the time other than browsing. My computer is properly time syncing. It appears that Microsoft is issuing a certificate with bad info, since downloading the cert myself and viewing it says that the certificate is not valid for the requested usage. There are literally over a thousand of these errors now piled up but there seems to be no end in sight. I tripped across them doing a weekly check of the logs. I am experiencing no performance degradation or BSODs. I ran "sfc /scannow" as admin and it found no problems.

The certificate is issued by Microsoft and signed by Microsoft, off of Microsoft servers.

Other places mention that the windows media player media server can cause this but their only fix is to disable the service. Not kosher.

Hi everyone,

For the people receiving the CAPI2 ID 11 “Failed extract of third-party rootlist…” generated in the application log:

· Click the Pearl (Start) Orb on the Desktop

· In the Search box typeCMD (do not hit enter)

· Right-Click cmd.exe and selectRun as administrator

Once the Command Prompt window is open type the following command and press enter.

certutil -urlcache * delete

*Note* There is a space between * & delete

Once it has completed it should show the following:

CertUtil: -URLCache command completed successfully

If the expired certificate is cached in the system profile, then you will need to run it in the system context.

To do this, download PsExec

Select Open then Double click PsExec.exe

Select Extract and choose the location, (Take note of this location) make a new folder called PsTools and select Extract

Now Open the Command Prompt as the administrator and browse to the location of the PsTools folder.

So if you extracted to your Desktop the Command Prompt should look like this:

C:\Users<username>\Desktop\PsTools

Type the following and hit enter:

psexec -i -s cmd.exe

A new Command Prompt window should open, from here type the following command again and hit enter:

certutil -urlcache * delete

If these steps do not work use the steps below to enable CAPI2 logging, please copy and paste the details of the error log in this thread.

Click 'Start' > Type Event in the search bar and select 'Event Viewer'

Expand 'Applications and Services Logs'

Expand 'Microsoft'

Expand 'Windows'

Expand 'CAPI2'

Select 'Operational'

On the far right pane > Click 'Enable Log'
