PEER_E_CERT_STORE_CORRUPTED
Which peer contract was rejected
PEER_E_CERT_STORE_CORRUPTED — HRESULT 0x80630801 means that the local certificate store used by the Peer Infrastructure cannot provide a consistent, parseable identity or group certificate set. The relevant API boundary includes Identity Manager, Windows certificate store and identity/group import functions.
Peer identities are secure peer names backed by user-scoped certificate and private-key material. The same identity may be referenced by PNRP registrations and by one or more secure peer groups.
Minimum diagnostic packet
| Item | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Raw input | Preserve affected user and profile, certificate-store location, certificate thumbprints, private-key links, store access errors and recent profile or disk recovery actions. |
Focused reproduction
Enumerate peer identities and certificates under the owning user, then compare with a clean profile or a verified encrypted identity export.
Why the comparison code is different
PEER_E_NO_KEY_ACCESS differs because corruption is malformed or inconsistent certificate data; no-key-access is inability to read otherwise valid key material.
Recommended change
Restore the user certificate store or import a known-good protected identity/group export; preserve private keys before any destructive cleanup.
