Description

Describe the problem you Confuse

Does MQTTX supports the Windows trust store for validating TLS connection.

In Java it is for example possible: Java option -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=WINDOWS-ROOT allows Java to use the Windows trust store for the computer account.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to use the Windows certificate store (e.g., via the 'win ca' npm module or native Node.js APIs) and integrate it into MQTTX's TLS configuration.
