WININET_E_SEC_CERT_REVOKED

WININET_E_SEC_CERT_REVOKED is a WinINet HRESULT. It means that certificate revocation checking determined that the certificate is no longer trusted. The certificate must not be accepted as a workaround because it may have been compromised or deliberately withdrawn.

What to check

  • Replace the revoked certificate with a valid current certificate from the appropriate issuing authority.
  • Check revocation-status reachability and system time only to diagnose the result, not to bypass it.
  • Review the incident or administrative reason for revocation before restoring access.
