Microsoft 2016 Windows Root Certificate Trust Program List Announcement will remove 20 root certificates

Microsoft announced that it will remove some of the trusted root certificates, as some CA authorities decided to opt out or could not meet Microsoft's recently updated Microsoft Root Certificate Trust program requirements. The Microsoft Root Certificate Trust program is a list of trusted root certificates installed on Windows devices. The root certificate allows Windows devices to provide no warnings when processing network connections or installing software from trusted parties provided by CA authorities.

In June 2015, Microsoft decided to update its Microsoft root certificate trust program requirements, requiring more stringent requirements and more advanced technology. More stringent requirements have caused some CA authorities to opt out, and root certificates issued by CAs that do not meet Microsoft's new requirements will also be removed by Microsoft.

At the end of the year, Microsoft officially updated the Microsoft Root Certificate Trust Program list, which will take effect in January 2016. The previous 20 trusted root certificates were removed and the list is as follows.
