Fix 'Server Certificate Has Expired' error on all PC browsers.

 If the search in your browser returns an error that says "Server Certificate has Expired" or a similar error then this post has the steps to fix it.



One of the most common causes of an Invalid or Expired Security Certificate error is the clock on your computer being wrong for some reason. Website security certificates are issued to be valid within a given date range. Your web browser compares the date of the certificate to the date on your computer to verify the date falls in a valid range. If the date of the certificate is too far outside the date on the computer, your browser will give you an invalid security certificate error because the browser thinks something is wrong.
 

 The fix for this problem is to set your computer clock to the correct date and time. It may require a reboot before your browser will view the problem as corrected, but fixing the date on your clock fixes many of these errors.

To Fix this, follow these steps:

Step 1:
Click on the 'Time and Date' settings in the bottom right corner of your screen.

Step 2:
Select 'Change Date and Time Settings'.

Step 3:
 In the Date and Time window, go to the Internet Time tab.


Step 4:
Click on 'Change Settings' option.
 Step 5:
Click on 'Update Now' option. This will work only when you are connected to the internet. The time and date of your PC will be correctly synchronized.

Now all the errors on your internet browsers will be automatically fixed.
The other common cause of invalid security certificate error messages is typing in the wrong website address in your browser. For some websites, there is a difference between typing http://softwarehacks26.com and http://www.softwarehacks26.com. Even though both should arrive at the same location, if the security certificate is only configured for www.softwarehacks26.com you will get an error if you leave the www out of your URL. The error message actually tells you how to fix the problem in cases like this one. Simply make sure you use the website address that supports the security certificate and you will not get the error message.
