Microsoft warns Windows 11 features are failing due to its expired certificate

[BootinUp]

Microsoft has started warning Windows 11 users that certain features in the operating system are failing to load due to an expired certificate. The certificate expired on October 31st, and Microsoft warns that some Windows 11 users aren’t able to open apps like the Snipping Tool, touch keyboard, or emoji panel.

A patch is available to fix some of the issues, but it’s currently in preview, meaning you have to install it manually from Windows Update. The patch, KB4006746, will fix the touch keyboard, voice typing, emoji panel, and issues with the getting started and tips sections of Windows 11. You’ll be able to find this patch by checking for updates in the Windows Update section of Settings in Windows 11.

Microsoft still needs to fix the Snipping Tool
Microsoft’s patch doesn’t address the problems with the Snipping Tool app, though. “To mitigate the issue with Snipping Tool, use the Print Screen key on your keyboard and paste the screenshot into your document,” recommends Microsoft. “You can also paste it into Paint to select and copy the section you want.”

It’s not clear how many Windows 11 users are affected by these issues, and we haven’t been able to replicate the Snipping Tool problems on multiple patched systems.

5. About a week or so ago...

A little icon prompting me to upgrade to WIN11 popped up in the task bar. I just bought this laptop about six months ago, not used to WIN10 yet! I think I'll pass on the new OS until I hear that it's better than what I have from lots of people.

7. I'll bet their built-in spyware features never failed to load.
