I’ve started using Windows 8 now. Some issues will appear. This is one of them. Websites that are using self-signed certificates or certificates shorter than 1024bits encryption cannot be accessed using Internet Explorer 10. Browser doesn’t allow it. This is a workaround for the issue: 1.From elevated cmd run : certutil -setreg chain\minRSAPubKeyBitLength 512 2.Restart cert propagation service. 3.Reload webpage. This is probably going to be solved in MS patch in time for the real Windows 8 release in oktober.
