Description

C:\WINDOWS\system32>mkcert -install Using the local CA at "C:\Users\pwn\AppData\Local\mkcert" ✨ ERROR: add cert: Failed adding cert: The access control list (ACL) structure is invalid.

I tried to search for google-related unsolvable (ACL) issues, but did not find a suitable solution.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the ACL error by checking Windows certificate store permissions and running mkcert with administrator privileges. Look for known issues with certutil or the Windows certificate store ACL.
