[Windows 8] Skydrive, Windows Store, … : unable to connect

Recently without any reason I can’t connect to the Windows 8 Store while all working fine before, I got the following message asking me to try again later:

Somme colleague got the same problems and for other services like SkyDrive or those associated to a Microsoft account (known as LiveID):

You asking you what about the security with this, when we look about trace we see that the certificate used is not trusted:

If we try to connect hrought a Web browser the certificate is not the same as we notice on the trace:

Here the two steps to make all working again

1/ Certificates trust

Here are the two certificates to trust on the Computer certificate store.

1.1/ Root authority

2/ Reset SSL

On Internet Explorer, we clear the SSL cache:

Then on an elevated command prompt we execute the following command:

regsvr32 softpub.dll wintrust.dll

• wintrust.dll : API for checking trust on files, catalogs, signatures, or certificate. 
• softpub.dll : functions for encryption.

Thanks’ to Olivier DESPRINGRE for the second step.
